[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 1825664, member: 16869"] Over the years: Had a customer insist it was perfectly fine to shoot 7mm Rem mag in 338 Win mag. He had sold the 7mm rifle and still had 100 rounds left. Also insisted it put down whatever big game animal out to 100 yards. He got cranky even though I was diplomatic when I said it was a poor idea. Shooters asking for "300" ammunition - followed by blank looks and frustration when we ask them to bring the rifle so they get the right stuff. Customer had a sporterized 1917 Enfield making light primer strikes. Barrel had been correctly marked 308 NM for Norma mag, all the owner paid attention to was the 308 and thought it was Winchester. The whole 7mm Mauser in an 8mm Mauser thing. Fellow had tremendous feeding problems in his 9mm Luger pistol - because it was actually a 40 S&W. He wouldn't believe me until I removed his magazine, locked the slide back and dropped a 9mm cartridge into the muzzle for him to watch as it bounced out of the mag well onto the counter. [/QUOTE]
