Been there seen that, but!

I know this has probably been replayed a thousand times but I feel we can never be reminded enough about safety. I hope this area was okay to put this.

This weekend at the range I found a ruptured case on the ground. My immediate thoughts were hot load, but the neck area was begging for me to take a closer look, so I did. I took home the exploded case and rummaged through my casing until I found a close match. From my investigative work it appears someone shot a 7mm-08 in a 7mm WSM, look at the pictures below. I have a 7mm-08 case, the ruptured case, and a 7mm WSM case.

Anyway you guys be careful out there.

Thanks

Thanks for the photo and the detective work,on the true cartridge). We'll use this in the bulletin and I think it would make a nice sidebar on the upcoming 7mm cartridge guide.

,Not all 7mms are the same obviously!!)

I'm still surprised he got it to go off. It must'a hooked just enough of the rim to hold it enough for the firing pin to set it off.

I can't tell you how many people I've seen come home with a box of 223 WSSM for their 223 Rem. Fortunately, they're hard to chamber

We were at the range one day when a fellow came over and asked for some help. Seems he was having a number of misfires and really pure accuracy in his 40 caliber Glock.

Turned out he was using 9mm Luger ammo. Interesting fired cases and I thought it most interesting that it would fire 9mm at all.
