[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2751109, member: 75451"] Good advice there 41magnut…..quote: The gist of this thread hi-jacking is when, or if, you have several different rifles in different calibers, clear the bench of ammo when you change rifles, double check that the correct ammo is used in the current rifle on the bench Had it happen to me….cost me a case, a chronograph, and a few moments of serious stress/disbelief! 🤬 I was doing load development for both my wife’s .338 WM and my .375 AI. The shot from my AI had near nothing recoil, the muzzle blast appeared somewhat muffled, the chronograph “came from untogether”! 🙀 When I ejected the case, it was “straight-walled”! My first thought, my brain was a bit “muddled/rattled” at the time, was I had a case separation….with a portion of the case stuck in the chamber. ☹️ After a few moments of trying to look into the chamber, I finally looked at the ejected case and found it was a .338 WM.🥴 No apparent harm to the rifle….just major harm to my pride and to my chrono! 😢 memtb [/QUOTE]
