Glad you weren't hurt. I found not one, but three .308s that were fired in either a .30-06 or .35 Whelen, at the range once:Glad you weren't hurt. I once did that, I fired a 270 out of a 7 Rem mag... And hit the rock I was aiming at about 50 yds away.
Crazy the way your case stretched out so much
That's how wildcat cartridges are made
Thats also how undies get skid marks in them too!!!
A bit scary i bet. Glad your fine.
I saw two guys shooting a new Glock 22 and complaining loudly about jams, poor accuracy, and split cases. They darn near finished a 50 round box of 9mm before they realized it was the wrong ammo!And you think you were unobservant!

I fired a .22LR in a .17 Mach4 Savage bolt once-It squeezed down and out the barrel. I was test firing it after working on it, and grabbed .22's out of the testing ammo...
7 rem Mag through an stw. The necks were blown out but looked dirty and, finely serrated? I honestly at the time was afraid I had a bad batch of brass and had sent the necks downrange with the bullets.I'm guessing it was 7mm Mauser (7x57) ?
And here's a fireformed case all ready to go!You can call it the 257-270 Dammit.
View attachment 236659 View attachment 236660 mistakenly fired 257 robts. in 270 win. been reloading over forty years should have known better.
I was trying some different loads and obviously not paying attention, was lucky in more ways than one.
here are a couple of photos. notice primer backed out.
Was the spent case hard to extract at all?View attachment 236659 View attachment 236660 mistakenly fired 257 robts. in 270 win. been reloading over forty years should have known better.

What action?
I'm just guessing here, but I'll say a Mauser or other controlled round feed?
