Thread: Close call!

Ron Spomer (american writer) fired a 7mm 08 in a 25/06

"Even more danger results when the wrong bullet diameter (caliber) is fired. I once, in a fit of distraction and stupidity, stuck a 7mm-08 Remington in a Dakota #10 rifle chambered for a .25-06 Remington. It went bang, no hole appeared in the paper target, and the chronograph displayed 400 fps more velocity than it had for two previous rounds. When I opened the action, the primer fell out. The head was black with soot, and when my befuddled brain finally read and comprehended the 7mm-08 Rem. stamped in the brass head, I about jumped off the bench.

will a 308 chamber in a 7-08 or 243 if the projectile is seated deep enough?

Doubt it, but hard to say for sure.
