It would fire, but not safely or accurately. If some darwinist wants to trash his chamber at the least and his brain cavity at the most it's up to him. I would never do that to my rifles chambers even if I thought it could be safe.

Like stubblejumper already pointed out, they are both belted cases, and I'm sure the 300 Win would fire in a 300 Weatherby, but you're not gonna get me to try it out!
I witnessed a fellow fire a .270 Win in a 7mmRM. I would never have believed that the 270 would fire, but it did, and I saw it! A friend of mine fired a 338 Win Mag in an 8mm Rem Mag rifle. Nothing happened to the rifle, and the bullet went through! The rifle was a custom barreled Sako.

Didn't we discuss this on the "ask the gunwriter" forum not too long ago?
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

actually, I stand corrected! You are correct I wasn't thinking! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I still don't think it'd be a good idea though!

It is a very bad idea!
But, the 300 Win will go boom in any of the magnum length belted magnum chambers based on the basic 300 H&H case.
This includes going boom in a 7mm STW which would be an almost hand grenade like experience.
There are other bad combos out there, like the 350 Remington Mag in any number of chambers including 7 Rem mags and 300 Win, etc. etc. etc.
This is why Hornady put the broad belt on the 450 Marlin.
Be safe out there.
