The 9x18 I fired in my 92 was loaded with .355 bullets.
Shooting 9mm through a .40?!

This something I don't think I have ever done and I have multiple handguns in different calibers.
I did come across a guy at a rifle range once. He was sitting down with a brand new rifle in 7mm. He put a cartridge in and "click", it wouldn't fire. He asked me if I knew anything about it since I had noticed the problem. He had a box of ammo sitting on the table that said 7mm '06. I looked at the gun and it said 7mm WSM. I just told him I didn't think he had to right ammo. The guy at Academy where he had just bought the gun gave him that box when he bought the rifle. The range didn't have 7mm WSM so he had to go back to the store. I reflected on how happy I was that the round didn't seat up and go off when he pulled the trigger.
I think the guy knew the basic 223, 308, and 30.06, but 7mm was new to him and he didn't realize there were 72 different types. The gun manufacturers don't help when they put out new cartridges twice a year.
