[QUOTE="hunter0528, post: 2541655, member: 56641"] Years ago a person brought in his AR-15 with a stuck bolt. I looked at the magazine and it was loaded with .30 carbine. He said he purchased carbine ammo for his AR15 Carbine. The bullet exited (standard 110 gr) but the case expanded to fill the space where the .223 should have been. Took over and hour to tear the gun down and get the bolt out. I lost the case over the 40+ years. I used a go/no go gauge and it was fine. Test fired remotely and function perfectly. the cases miked out true to a .223 dimensions. Probably the lower pressure that the .30 carbine operated at saved him and the gun. Comparing the two rounds (.30 and .223) the ogive of the .30 matched the bottleneck of the .223. [/QUOTE]
