[QUOTE="devins, post: 710167, member: 27441"] I have been there when a friend tried to fire .223 in his AR 15 in 6.8 SPC and thankfully it let him know by the bolt not closing. I bought a project gun stamped 300 Win Mag, so once ready to site it in and going to close the bolt and it not closing on the 300 Win Mag, a chamber casting showed it was 308 Norma Mag. The good news there was that the 308 Norma was costly enough it got me into reloading and I have enjoyed that ever since:D. But my best story was having walked a half mile in, in the dark and sitting down and going to chamber a round and thinking hey wait a minute where is the belt? I was carrying my 7mm RM and my nephew had sat his 270 ammo in a similar box with my ammo in my truck where I keep mine instead of where he was to keep his. So thankfully all it cost me was a quick walk of another mile and I learned my lesson to not just check and double check but right before you walk in or load check one more time. I load 22-250 for my dad and nephew and 22-250 AI for myself and 6mm for dad and 270 for me and for my nephew and several other rounds that are similar. I use red boxes for them and green for me and try to use different head stamped brands of brass for the different ones but the sharpy marks are another good way to differentiate the similar loads. But still I guess the best insurance is to check every time. Sure fire forming some of their brass to AI would not be the end of the world, especially since I buy it for them anyway, but it is good practice to keep everything else straight too, right? And are there any other good ideas for additional differintiating for similar rounds that works for others? [/QUOTE]
