7mm 08 in 30'06 fail

[survivalshop]

This what happens to a 7mm 08 case when some one shoots it in a 30'06 chamber , some one needs to pay attention to what ammo for what rifle

 

.

 

 

I loaded the ammo for a hunter friend & he came to me about it & after checking his rifle , well he was not pleased with him self .It helps to have the right rifle with you with the right ammo.

 

I spent some time test firing different test rd's. with his rifle to get the most out of it , one hole groups when all said & done . I can't help he has two same looking 700 bolts rifles in different cal's. in his safe . 

 

He said he couldn't understand why I showed such good groupings & his first & only rd. ( which the case stuck in the chamber , of course ) didn't even hit the target.

 

Slight tap with a cleaning rod & this is what it gave birth to , a new caliber .

I've thought about something in close to that caliber.  However, I'd do away that that short neck and make it a slightly tapered straightwall cartridge.  IIRC you could get something over .40 caliber.  Should be a great mid-range thumper!

Like 44'308 cal.

    I'v seen more 300 Win Mags shot in 300 Wby's than I care to count!

    Best one was a guy who shot up 2 boxes of 7mm  Rem mag in a 338 mag!  Trying to get it sighted in.   Worked OK at 25 yards, all over the place at 100.LOL!!!!
