Thread: .243 ammo in a 7mm08

ouchies... saw someone fire a .270 from a 7mm rem mag the other weekend. Some tosser had been fiddling in the shop and obviously wanted a 7mm rm for his collection (snuck it into his .270 packet). Unfortunately the hapless shooter didn't notice, cambered and fired it. No apparent damage.

Check your ammo people! There are a few combinations that could be fatal! ie .308 in a .270.

Fired about 10 rounds of .308 out of a Mosin Nagant using a very long string. Worked quite well until we jammed the barrel in the ground.

Thats the guy at North Akld Deerstalkers ?
If so, the rifle wouldn't chamber a round of the 'right' calibre after he'd fired the 270 so there must have been some damage to the chamber.
Never a good time to have something like that happen, but this close to the roar - bugger !
He had a nice cut from the scope under his right eye too.

So you were there Frogfeatures! I wasn't aware yes must have done some damage maybe to the extractor? Or burred the throte. Nasty
