I was helping work a sight in day at our local club one weekend before season. I was assisting a guy and from two benches over I heard the oddest sound I'd ever heard from a rifle. The fellow that was shooting had the most quizzical look on his face, chambered another round and shot again. I walked over to him to see if I could offer a hand, he replied that he was sure the rifle was on before his trip but he couldn't even see the rounds on paper. Now I kidd you not... somehow "and I'll never know how" this guy had just shot two .308 rounds out of a .270 Figure that one out! All I can think is that they had a running start. None of us could believe someone could be so careless. He just shrugged it off and said "huh I grabbed the wrong box of ammo when I left the house"... Hear the same chamberings getting interchanged while shooting a rifle match. Several of us were talking while waiting our turn to shoot and a guy that has his own range told of a .308 getting sent down the barrel of a .270 It's hard for me to wrap my head around it, too.

I'd love to know his reasoning behind thinking that would work.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

I'll be teaching 'firearm safety' to a bunch of 4H 9-13 year olds in couple weeks & caliber/ammo matching is covered. Should I sign him up? tell him he can bring his kiddos too . . .

We had a lease with one hunter a couple of seasons ago and after the morning hunt on opening day we found out that he had taken the wrong ammo, he took his 30-06 rifle but had .243 ammo with him. Luckily he didn't try to use the ammo but after the hunt he said he had thought about trying to use it and asked us if he could use it and what would have happened if he had, my friend and I were stunned by his ignorance and told him that very bad things would have happened had he tried it. We only had him on the lease for that year and when we renewed the lease we never asked him to go on the lease with us after that.

I have to be careful to keep my .270 and 25-06 ammo separate as well. While I've never mistakenly attempted to load the incorrect ammo into the wrong gun, I have no interest in knowing the result. They both share a very similar casing.

Nephew called me. I ran out of the ammo I liked in my 270, says he. It was 140 gr CoreLokts, so I went, he says, and bought some 6.5x55. I asked if he had a new rifle in that caliber, and he said "no". So I said "what are you telling me?" Well, he said I tried them in my 270, but they locked up and now the bolt is kinda locked. I asked if he had tried to shoot that ammo in his 270. I could not believe my ears. He did try, and now the bolt was stuck and "what do I do"?
Whew! I said to take it to a gunsmith and do not fiddle with it any more.
Oh my God! He's in his 30's and married with kids. He's been hunting for 20 years. I just cannot imagine that he would do something that clueless. Should I tell his Dad?
I have never thought of the kid as dim witted, but this stupid move leaves me nearly speechless. This Thanksgiving you'll truely have something ta be thankful for. just thinking bout that little girl.

They both share a very similar casing. Yeesir. With those two I'd certainly look at head stamps prior to loading either one of them. I hope the riflea aren't twins!

If a person thinks they can use other ammo in a rifle or pistol maybe they should make sure they have a will!
