Cartridge test of the day
I hope this works.

Take a look at the two cases.
What is wrong here?

Two different calibers. One's a 7mm Rem Mag, the other a 7mm Weatherby Mag. Is that the answer your looking for?

Looks to me like the nickle one needs trimmed badly!

One case is longer than the other, or one is shorter than the other.

From looking at the headstamps and case shoulders someone fired a 7mm Wea mag in a 7mm rem mag chamber.

My thoughts exactly. The shoulder is too steep on the weatherby

Correctamundooooo!!!

I did not know a weatherby cartridge could fit the chamber. Would it not take a bunch of force to close the bolt?

Well, I though the same thing happened, but the other way around. As in 7mm Rem Mag fired in Weatherby. Thought the Weatherby was a good bit bigger? Guess not.
