I knew a guy that put a .308 though a .270 Win, well not quit all the way through it and looked like Al Jolson after pulling the trigger.

I don't understand how this could happen. I can for sure visualize how a 5.56x45 cartridge could chamber in a 300BO chamber, but how can a 300BO cartridge chamber in a 5.56x45? The 300BO neck is so wide that it wouldn't enter the neck portion of the chamber. I'd think this would leave the bolt so far back that it would have no way to lock. What am I missing?
The bullet in 300BLK gets pushed back into the case and due to the 5.56 headspacing of the chamber it allows the firing pin to set it off.

Do you know if the same thing can happen with .300 HAM'R? I thought it could not but your illustration shows more room in front of the .300 BLK case than I thought would be there.
OK, now I understand. I'd assumed that the cartridge lengths were the same, but they're not.
Here is .300 HAM'R. Does anyone think this could be forced into the chamber under normal cycling? One HAM'R in the middle of a 5.56 magazine in an overgassed gun?
