[QUOTE="41magnut, post: 2751084, member: 94730"] I wholehearted agree. During my time as a RSO at 2 public ranges I saw the aftermath of a 300 Blk fired in a 223 chambered rifle. The damage to the rifle(s) was, as one would expect, dramatic, the mental trauma to the individuals was just as bad. Fortunately the physical damage was surprisingly minimal. I personally witnessed an incident of a 308W fired in a 30/06 chambered rifle. The gist of this thread hi-jacking is when, or if, you have several different rifles in different calibers, clear the bench of ammo when you change rifles, double check that the correct ammo is used in the current rifle on the bench. If possible have a buddy follow you up on this, and don't depend on SAMMI differences in cartridges to prevent various cartridges from chambering in different rifles. There are some pretty sloppy chambers out there. Rifle cartridges are not color coded like shotgun shells. I'll crawl back in hole now, carry on. [/QUOTE]
