I'd have called BS on that story, unless he hit the target with fragments of the barrel. The barrel would have split or blown long before a .308" bullet got squeezed down a .257" barrel. He's lucky that the action didn't forcibly disintegrate in his face. But I don't believe the "hit the target" thing.
