Anybody put a 308 in a 270 and live to tell the tale.

Here she be. .308 fired out of a 30-06

That's exactly what my casing looked like .....
Except mine was stuck in the bolt face,like brass swelled into the bolt face and would come off the bolt.
Primer was just gone.

I just got home from shooting today.
That rifle in my cabinet is a constantly reminds me to check.
I only had one rifle and one shotgun today,so 12 GA doesn't fit in Alot of rifles .
Gonna try to get a new bolt this spring and take the rifle to a gun Smith ,have the bore checked,head space,and all that and get it up and running. Got 20 reloads loaded that never got tested that day. But it's looking like about 300 just for a new bolt,then who knows what the rest will cost.

You have to listen to that little voice in the back of your mind.  Whether you're in a hurry cause its getting dark or your mind is on something else.  You have to remind yourself that this is like a math test, but get one wrong and you might lose a finger or an eye.
Worst I have done is fired a 7 Rem Mag in a 7STW.

I bought a bunch of fired .270 brass at a garage sale a while back, found several with necks blown out to .30 caliber!

Have a Merry Christmas.
