the 300 blackout uses the same 556 case, but the bullet is a 300 blackout. It would chamber.
I presume...
That is a newer one, there was one from last year on AR15.com where the guy loaded .300 blk in his 5.56 and it slamfired, only problem the .30 cal bullet did not go down the tube and his whole upper exploded. This guy tried the same and is really lucky, 2nd page of the thread shows the .30 bullet or jacket stuck in the barrel.
That is why I use different colored mags for 5.56 and for .300 Blackout. Helps me separate them.

Either case can be dangerous and this guy was lucky, very very lucky.

Big gun fall down and go BOOM!
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Hmm... Remind me of this when i actually build another AR...
I guess he'll read better in the future
it never fails... EVERY time one of the academy classes has been to the range... Someone after them puts a .40 down a .45.... Happened again today....
Someone always unloads their .40 and tosses all the rounds into the .45 box... BUT! Problem could be solved by checking your rounds before you load them...
When will people learn....
Eh...the guy made a mistake. He knows it. He knows he should've been more careful. I commend him for using his unfortunate - and easily preventable - mistake to remind us all not to become complacent.
Wish I could say I haven't had a dumbass attack here and there.

That could have been much worse! I'm glad that he was big enough to admit that he was a dumbsh*t and screwed up!
