I have two Remington KS rifles and they are a couple of my favorite hunting rifles, one 7mm rem mag and one 270. The rifles are pretty much identical in color and both have Leupold scopes.
Today I was at the range with friends and shooting them both. I chambered and fired a 270 cartridge in the 7mm. I wasn't exactly sure what happened after I fired the rifle. I got a face full of debris and smelled a lot of burned powder. I got a couple of very minor cuts on my forehead that I was unaware of until I asked my friend what my face looked like. It felt like I got sprayed with high velocity sand. I thought I had a case head separation although when I opened the bolt there was nothing. I removed the bolt and could see that the barrel was obstructed. When I got home I ran a rod down the barrel and the 270 case fell out.
Lesson learned, in the future I will only have the ammo on the bench for the firearm that I am shooting. Be careful my friends.
