Had an incident last year where a fellow turned up at the local range to sight in after getting a new suppressor. His 30/06 put the first three rounds a bit lower but not bad at 100m. He adjusted slightly and started getting 3 foot groups...he could not figure it out. I checked his set up and then checked the ammo. As I did not buy the ammo I checked the head stamp rather than the box thinking it may have been reloads and it was 270 ammo. Checked his box and he had three new boxes of 20/06 federal from the shop (purchased on the way to the range) and 17 rounds of 20 in one box were 270. Best guess was someone took them out for a look see in the shop and put the wrong ones back into the wrong box. A few choice words were exchanged and a scare shooter went to see if the 270 had done any damage to his treasured 30/06......I wont say which retailer as it could happen to any of them.
