I'll throw in my contribution. I load for several centerfire varmint rifles, including a couple of 6mm Remington's and a 220 swift, two cases that have almost the same dimensions, and from the side look identical. I was out coyote hunting one day with the 220 swift, it was on my shoulder and the slings I prefer hold four cartridges on them. So as I was walking I looked down and noticed the case said 6mm, I pulled it out and I had loaded a .22 cal bullet in it. Presumably when I was out shooting gophers with several guns the case got put in the wrong box. When I had reloaded it I had run it through the 220 die. I looked through all of my ammo and that was the only one that had been mixed up but I hate to think what would've happened if I had fired it.
