A few years back I was out hunting.....had my ammo and 270 I thought.....Loaded my ammo into the mag and began walking. After a bit I came across a small buck and went to chamber a round. For some reason I couldn't push the bolt all the way closed. Turns out that a while back I had somehow managed to put my Barnes Vortex 270 bullets into my 3006 box and my 3006 bullets into my 270 box. So when I had thought that I grabbed my 270 ammo (correct box) I had in fact brought 3006 ammo. And unfortunately 3006 and 270 have the same brass casing size so the ammo fit fine into the mag fine so I only found out at the worst possible time.
Now I keep 2 rounds of every caliber I own locked in a box in my truck during hunting season just in case I do something that stupid again!
