Little resistance chambering, put me off the once great 270.Quote:

Rogue projectile, don't have anything in 7mm.Quote:

Glad your ok, christ that would of certainly woken you up!!!
ouch. Code brown that one. Obviously you are ok?
That was a nice brno mauser like mine by the looks, 270 though not 8x57
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...is what I said ...and my incident wasnt as traumatic as yours...those zastavas are strong actions.....you are a lucky man to walk away from that one...
Silver lining, weren't you looking for a Mauser follower ??Quote:

pleased you walked away.
as soon as you can...get back out with .22lr and .223 and shoot some shit...doesnt matter what,just do it ASAP... your confidence has taken a massive hit and the dreaded rhymes with grinch will take hold if you dont go out soon and re teach your body its ok to squeaze trigger....
Have seen 270 down a 7mm and that was enough of a fright let alone the reverse, jeepers
@tetawa
Thanks for posting that .
Doesn't hurt to remind us of the possible consequence of not being in total control.
Was just thinking that nosler got it right with different colour tip on different calsQuote:

Thinking I should tidy up my own act every time I hear of some thing like this happening but after 60+ years shooting old habits die hard.7.62x39 destroyed 7x57 a while ago locally and a bore sighter still in barrel had a similar effect.
Sorry to here of your mishap but thank you for posting it.
Know it was 7mm as found another in the reloads.Quote:

Don't have a 7mm or projectiles. Will grab some 7mm projectiles off a mate to see how easily they seat in 270 cases, I've reloaded for 40 plus years and learnt many moons ago you don't have powder on projectiles out on the bench other than those in immediate use.Quote:

they will seat piece of piss having a wee boattail....not much difference from a .311 in a .308 case as in loading 7.62x39mm
I don't think that's what is being suggested here ? Happy to be corrected @tetawaQuote:

So are you suggesting this was in a sealed box you bought from a retailer ? If so that has some very serious ramificationsQuote:

They would get the pants sued off them.
document it...betterstill video it...so no chance of someone calling BS..... if there is crossover....and deadeye dicks knew about it...and nothing has been said..no recall... well our man may be due a new rifle.... the law suits in the states if this is correct would be crippling.Quote:
