I just saw this topic in an email from Hodgdon. Below is a link to a SAAMI list of unsafe combinations. Have you experienced any of these? What do you do to prevent this?
The only instance I've experienced is in placing .243 Win into a 7.62x54R chamber. The Mosin-Nagant sounded weak when I fired and showed no damage. But the empty case was stuck and had to be pried out.

22 Winchester Magnum - unsafe to chamber the following:
> 17 Precision Made Cartridge
> 22 BB Cap
> 22 CB Cap
> 22 Short
