Ok, did not happen to me...
...however this months "Rifle Shooter" magazine, has a featured article on the RUGER SR762 AR10 "type" rifle.
This "writer", Patrick Sweeny, says "Ruger told me that they chambered the gun in .308WIN..."
...then he, (Sweeny, NOT Ruger...) says ; "so for the SAME reason it is not safe to fire 5.56NATO in a rifle chambered for .223...
...you should stick to .308 in the Ruger SR762...for the SAME reason, in case of HOT military rounds..."
???
I think he's (Sweeny) has got that ALL WRONG...backwards?
I've always understood that for the .308 ONLY and 7.62 ONLY chambered Rifles it was just the OPPOSITE of the relationship between 5.56 & .223.
That if a rifle was "chambered" ONLY for 7.62x51...
...then it could be hazerdous to FIRE .308WIN in such rifle, because it's the .308 rounds that are typically loaded far more "HOT" than 7.62x51?
Correct me if I'm wrong...I've been "wrong", before, once...lol
However, I think Mr. Sweeny needs to check his "facts" BEFORE writing articles?
