...someone accidentally fired a 300 Win Mag in a 7 RUM chambered rifle? Wonder no more! Customer brought their rifle in after firing a 300 WM out of a 7mm RUM. The rifle survived. The bullet exited the barrel. Customer states that the bullet hit the target(I find this incredible in and of itself). The barrel will be scrapped. It came out of the receiver with a bit of effort. The recoil lug is stuck on the barrel tenon. The bolt had to be beat open with a mallet. QC department checked over the bolt and receiver and have cleared them for future duty as they pass muster with go/no-go thread gages. No noticeable bolt setback. Bolt will be lapped to receiver and await customers instructions for rebarrelling.
