Due to this being safety related this is the kind of article that needs to be a sticky of some sort to make sure others see it. It does not need to sink to the bottom of the order in just a couple of days.

Now I feel even better about having two rifles that are both .308 Win. I occasionally reload for my M1 Garand, but mostly just have to worry about keeping separate sets of fire-formed brass for the .308s. If I ever did accidently chamber one meant for the other chances are far less it would be catastrophic. I still need to watch cartridge length, etc.

It’s a testament to the durability of modern firearms that shooters aren’t more severely hurt when these accidents happen. Always wear your safety glasses!
