OK. Put them in the metal recycle bin then.

This may be a stupid suggestion but it may pay to mike the bullets you're using. Trying to poke a larger one down the tube would cause that.
I have seen this in a .308 loaded with an 8mm bullet. The loaded bullets weren't obvious but on firing it was and the cases were self decapping. If the rifle has a long lead or the bullet is set deep an oversize pill will seem to load ok.
It can happen with factory ammo these are from an old box of win .308, one has a .243 headstampAttachment 30513Attachment 30514 that could have been embarrassing
No, not a stupid suggestion at all Mart Henry.
Definitely .284 projectiles, I've just gone to check them. It was a hottish load of what was supposed to be 2208, and my mistake made it 2206H.
Lucky for my the rifle is still in one piece, and only the case is stuffed. I've pulled all the projectiles and replaced powder with 2208, so should be all good now.
@ebf I done this too a wee while back. This is still my load though. I think the bore was that dirty it spiked. No signs at all now.
