Ill try and explain whats going on but I do have some pictures I will try and upload later or will email them to anyone that thinks they might beable to help. A friend of mine has a 300 H&H mag and with out their knowledge someone took the fire arm and shot a 300 win mag bullet out of it, since they were unable to get the cartrage out of the rifle and shoot it anymore the unknown but suspected person returned the rifle to its proper place and no one knew the wiser, well just the other day we decided to take it out and shoot just for some practice and time away and to waste some bullets. Well when we got to the range and found the gun jammed it was rather convienient to have someone there that knew alot about guns kind of a do it yourself gun smith and with a little work with the action and some penetrating oil and some kind of freeze spray we were able to remove the round from the gun and He noticed it right away that it was a 300 win mag case. Well we all inspected the rifle to make sure there wasnt any further damage to any of the moving parts and the guy who helped him get the case out of the action said everything looked fine it was just lucky that who ever had fired the win mag through the gun wasnt seriously injured or worse killed. Now here comes the problem, We still decided to shoot it and at the time everything seemed fine the rounds were feeding, shooting, and ejecting with out flaw to his suprize the gun was still on 1.5" high at 100 yards we couldnt believe it. Well after we had shoot a couple of boxes of shells we started picking up the brass and to our amazement all of the 300 H&H caseings were expanded to look like a 300 win mag caseing, The 300 H&H is tapered from the belt up to the shoulder and then strait up to the neck well after you shoot them in the gun now they are square up to the shoulder, the shoulder of the casing is a steeper angle to the neck and resembles the look of a 300 win mag casing but after looking around the gun range and finding a 300 win mag casing the H&H casing is about 1/16-1/8" longer than a win mag. So my question to anyone that might have any idea on whats going on is What happened to the chamber when the win mag was fired out of the gun, and how did the win mag even fit in the H&H chamber with such an obvious difference in cartrages is it possible that the force of the win mag caused the chamber on the H&H to change that drastically that now the H&H casing are only good for one shot and not able to reload. By the way the shells were Win Super XX 300 H&H. Im no expert but this is something Ive never even heard about so I would be very greatful if someone out there would be of any help. Thanks in advance good huntin
