Just heard a story today about a guy that tried to chamber the wrong ammo in his rifle with explosive results. My Dad had various
guns and ammo growing up and was sure to make the point that I should always know that I was putting the right ammo in the gun I was shooting. This was a story I was told by an uncle of the person involved. It happened to someone that should have known better and had had just gotten careless. The story goes:
He needed more ammo, He calls his sister to bring him more and didn't check it before trying to chamber the round. When he was driving the bolt forward it exploded in his face.
Hope everyone that lets their kids shoot and people new to the hobby know of what can go wrong when the improper round is
loaded. It didn't kill him, but it could have.
