I remember reading in P.O. Ackley's writings.

About rechambering a 6.5 Arisaka to 30-06. When fired, the bullet would swage down and pass through the .264" bore.

Not sure if Ackley conducted the experiment or just wrote about it.

They managed to blow the barrel off the gun, but the action was undamaged. They cleaned the threads, screwed on a new barrel and continued to use the gun.

Some of these guys are blessed with bigger ones than I have or smaller brains. In fact, maybe both?

Even those guys who pioneered "Improved" rounds were gutsy.

WB and I get bashed regularly, but aren't even in the same zip code as these guys.

Realize this one was probably accidental, but...
