    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.

    That would be one scary moment alright, at least the Howa directed the blast away from the shooter otherwise he would have suffered a lot worse than a few scratches. Go buy a lotto ticket luck might be coming his way.

    Anyway the whole reason I shared this photo was just a reminder to all to double check your ammo. Now I can assume you all already do that, however I would rather not assume.
