Thread: Close call!

This is the remains of a friends 25-06!!! Wreckage was found over a 10 metre radius, and I bet there are other pieces further out. The cause is unknown as the user only uses factory ammo and doesn't handload. So maybe another round made its way into the ammo box.

Anyway the user only received a couple of scratches and a big fright!

Fcuk - very lucky to walk away from that mess. Brings a new meaning to "take down rifle", btw that scope will probably need re-zeroing

Did you see the browning when you where at Hardys on the wall? 2506 fired a 270.....
Same result as this

Maybe....I don't recall.
I thought saami changed shoulder lengths and stuff to make that kind of thing impossible?....surely it would be extremely difficult to force the 270 cal bullet back(crimped?) And resize the neck to fit in with the oversize projectile still in it?
I'm talking out my arse and have no experience with either caliber myself just thinking out loud.

I am guessing a .270....Just as I imagine that a 3-06 just would not chamber....where a .270 might??

Hows his EARS, very lucky man

Horrendous.....very lucky man....

Fark!

Looks like the fired round is still in the barrel, so might be able to read the headstamp on the case. Lucky man.
Was it a Howa?

Yes, unfortunately half the rear of the case has disappeared. All that it shows is Winchester. And yes it was a Howa I believe.

Your mate should buy a lotto ticket, he is one lucky fucker!
