Gun range mistake.

[nwihunter]

I accidentally fired a 6.5 creedmore round through my .308. The recoil was much lighter and shot was nowhere on target. I then put 3 more rounds of .308 ammo through and everything seems fine. All 3 shoots were right on target. Could I have messed anything up? Anything I should be looking for? Kinda disappointed with the whole situation.

Doubt you messed anything up pressures would be really low. I'm surprised you didn't get any blowback.

I should have 300 WSM out of a 325 WSM. Similar results less recoil Hit the ground about 3 feet low. I also fire form cases for various wildcats but usually not at full capacity and I make sure that there's something solid to headspace against.

I think you are probably ok.

Be glad that wasn’t the other way around

Both of these are 6.5 creedmore cases. The one on the right is the one that was fired out of my .308.

Oh it loaded no problem.

Now thats what I call fire forming!

Was that 6.5 just a chocked down 308 anyways to reduce recoil? You may have found a way to reduce it even more

Insert 6.5 creedmore joke here.

But seriously, glad it didn't result in a bad situation.

Toss that mother and be more aware shooting. Your lucky,maybe.

I think you should be grateful it wasn't the other way around.
