Why what? why I answered the way I did? Because the fella was new and I didn't want to belittle him.

And my Q is why?

You can shoot a 500 magnum round thru the right size pipe with a hammer and a nail. (One time)

I did not see anything wrong with your response. Besides it does not matter now; see #54,

People do silly things, some of which can be dangerous. I recently read where a
shooter shot several 6.5 Creed rounds through his .308 Win. The only problem he noted was that none of the bullets hit the target.

I spoke to a guy at a public range who intentionally bought 7mm Rem mag ammo for his 7mm WBY rifle. He said, " The Wby ammo is just too expensive".

He's eventually going to get a Darwin award…

WHY is there more than one pager this thread? Seems there should only be 3 potential answers.

QUESTION: - Can I fire a cartridge that was never intended to be fired in a differently chambered firearm?

ANSWERS: 1.WHY are you even considering this? Perhaps you need a gun safety course before posting again. 2. Yes - you can do it once. Tell us where to send flowers. 3. NO......

Very Bad idea!!! This sort of 'EXPERIMENTATION" , should never be considered legitimate. I have seen too much of this foolishness in my years in the gun dept . Rem 7mm Express or 280, in a 7mm Rem mag case. 300 win in a 300 Weatherby . The bad thing is that when someone gets away with doing something potentially dangerous like this, it then become ok , and others try it. The only switch I am aware of that is safe is .458 Ein Mag to 458 Lott. Why can't they just use the correct ammo???

+1 yup correct ammo.

Would there be any issue shooting 6.5x55 ammo though a 6.5 creedmoor rifle?

Sure you can. Just get the chamber machined out if the overall dimensions allow.

This has to be a wind up long action cartridge in a short action

The original poster is thinking two steps ahead. No brain fog from the needle here. Sharp as a whip. Bore out the chamber of headspace and bolt throw allow along with enough wall thickness in the resulting chamber.
