Thread: Close call!

Man that's nasty, I've seen take down rifles before but that would be the first Kitset one.

Got all his fingers and eye sight, walked away...... I would be thankful..............fuck know's what kind of flinch he will have after this.

Faarkn lucky bugger to get away with a few scratches!

It's zeroed just around that corner.

Would sure wake/shake you up alright.

Lucky man. Says good things for howa or vanguard though. saw a sako 25 06 that did the same thing when somebody fired a 308 in it.

be interesting to see the gunsmith appraisal.

Farken hell. Gnarly

Did you see the browning when you where at Hardys on the wall? 2506 fired a 270.....
Same result as this

Maybe....I don't recall.
I thought saami changed shoulder lengths and stuff to make that kind of thing impossible?....surely it would be extremely difficult to force the 270 cal bullet back(crimped?) And resize the neck to fit in with the oversize projectile still in it?
I'm talking out my arse and have no experience with either caliber myself just thinking out loud.

That would be one scary moment alright, at least the Howa directed the blast away from the shooter otherwise he would have suffered a lot worse than a few scratches. Go buy a lotto ticket luck might be coming his way.

It was a 270 case in a 25-06.
Saw the remind of the brass in the barrel today.

Anyway the whole reason I shared this photo was just a reminder to all to double check your ammo. Now I can assume you all already do that, however I would rather not assume.

Thats all the reason I need to never own either calibers
