[QUOTE="Mrvmax, post: 2160545, member: 114476"] A friend and I were on a guided deer hunt a couple years ago and they required us to sight in the first day. We always bring two rifles just in case and he had his 270 Win and 7mm mag with him. Somehow he messed up and chambered and fired a 7mm in the 270 (and it hit the target). Fortunately he was not hurt and neither was the rifle. Years ago I loaded some 300 Blackout for my AR. 99% of the time I weigh each charge and load about 50 at a time on a single stage press (or turret), when I charge them all with powder I take a flashlight and verify the powder levels before seating bullets. Somehow I failed to drop powder in one. I was at the range, fired and something did not seem right. Fortunately I stopped firing, open it up and looked down the barrel. The primer lodged the bullet in my barrel, if I would have been rapid firing the AR it could have been bad. That is my one and only loading mistake in the last 10 years and I learned from that one. Not sure how I missed powder but I think it was when I was interrupted by my wife while loading. [/QUOTE]
