This summer I jammed a 243 round into a 270.....for some still unknown reason it hung up in the chamber and I had to "pop" it out with the cleaning rod.
Not 30 seconds earlier I had been preaching to my 15 year old son the virtues of firearm safety at the range..............sheesh.

A guy at the range was shooting a few table down from me one day.
He opened his bolt and said something about that felt strange. He had 2 rifles with him. Come to find out he fired a 257 Wby cartridge in a 300 Wby gun.

I can't believe some of your can leave the house without a note pinned to your shirt.

I can't believe some of your can leave the house without a note pinned to your shirt. Laffin! A buddy and I were strafing sqeekers from a hay bale rest one day. Both right handers, I lay some .243 rounds on the bale to the right of my rig - and he put his 22-250's next to them at some point. I reached over and scooped a round and threw in in the chamber....no bangy when I squeezed off the shot?! I had to bump the rifle butt to get the cartridge to drop out. We got our chit together right quick and separated the ammo!

I've found .243 cases blown out in a .308 chamber at my private range, but none of my friends will own up to shooting them...

Public sight in days at the range were always a bit of a hoot. After about 3 incidents of wrong ammo in a rifle on the same day, the next year they mandated that all ammo and rifles would be verified by a member before firing.
My brother once had brass pulled out of his eyeball after shooting a 270 round out of a 7mm Mag, a friend had laid down ammo for a different gun when my brother wasn't looking. No damage to his eye, amazingly, just little pieces of brass half-embedded in the outermost layer of the eye. Makes me shudder to even think of it.
