Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 270 vs 30-06

I grabbed my .300 Weatherby Deluxe out of the safe one time thinking it was the .257 with almost the same identical wood. I loaded the .300 with the .257 ammo and had hunted for nearly 3 hours that afternoon and was sitting in the stand admiring the rifle when I realized it was the .300 instead of the .257......Needless to say I am glad I had a the boring old 30-06 Winchester Featherweight in the truck with several loose Core-Lokts in the glove box. Actually shot a nice buck that evening with the 06. So Yes, it happens.
