    Four or five years ago a Rotorua gun store owner showed me a box of Hornady factory 308 ammo that had one round of 243 ammo in it.

    Most likely the rogue pill/s came from strays on the original owners bench. Every now and then one escapes only to be found later on. Given the part boxes of pills and containers of powder being traded we're not seeing more of it.

    You're lucky to have got away so lightly. Although it looks like your right hand would have been pretty numb with the stock splintering away in front of it.

    No hand problems, am left handed. Dent in bonnet of vehicle would say from mag base, didn't find the pieces off the stock, was shooting off a logging skid, wood everywhere.

    Heard of this before, wholesalers answer was "someone viewing the ammo placed the cartridges in the wrong box" unsealed box is hard to prove different. This was back in the day when it was ok to handle items in a store
