Default reloading blunder -

mine was loading for a savage 340 in 30-30; had worked up a nice load for a 150 gr BT. Grabbed 180's off the shelf - one shot one stuck bolt. Pulled the remainder loaded cartridges. Severe muzzle flash - even in the daylight!
But on the idea of wrong shell in the wrong rifle; for the belted mags most fit all the chambers - 7mm into a 300 wm for instance. 264 wm into the 300 wm - watched this once on the range. The shooter noticed immediately! ODD sound - nothing on paper.
I think most manuals deal with safety - and its the chapter most of us fail to read - me too.
