While reloading 6.5x55 this afternoon I picked up a bullet put it on the neck of the case to press it in and it fell into the case....!
Carefully pulled it out by the ogive thinking I had missed one in the neck sizing and cussing my self when I thought 'hang on a minute' that doesn't just not fit that's a whole different calibre.
Put it to one side and finished the batch and then measured it. A 100gn .243 Pro hunter.
So has anyone else had an odd bullet in a box? I've been reloading now close on ten years and this is a first for me (occasionally had 101 in a box instead of 100, but all the same size).
this was a brand new sealed box of Sierra Prohunter 120gn spitzers.
