some one had stuck a box or .22-250 in the .223 pile. Same color and size box.
I grabbed two boxes. My wife was with me and caught it. I had grabbed the .22-250 box. That would have sucked. |

  I thought I was the only one that did that. Same thing. Got 20ga instead of 12ga. Well, guess it makes a good excuse to get a 20ga shotgun.

Bought 3 boxes of 9mm Makarov at a gun show. I meant to get 9mm Luger. That'll teach me to pay attention.

can't say i've done that.
I've gotten the 'wrong' ammo in that I was wanting some more .45 defense rounds, and picked up a box of FMJ intead (wasn't thinking at the time).....but that wasn't a big deal, I just shot an extra box the next time I was at the range. |

One time at my nephews birthday party, when the cake came out and the candles were lit he said "I wanna make a wish, I wanna make a wish" So I grabbed him by his ankles and spun him around the room until he went "A-whish, A-whish" I thought Now was a GREAT time to teach him the danger... Of homonyms. |

I've never bought the wrong ammo before but I do have ammo for a gun I don't own. This lady at work bought a chest at a garage sale, and when still took the drawers out to refinish it, she found a box of ammo. She brought it to me, since she knew that I am a gun nut and she didn't know how to dispose of it.
Anybody in the Phoenix area want 36 rounds of 9x18 Makarov? |

No. When I go, I take more ammo than I need anyway. I also take a mixed ammo can that I dump any partial boxes into when I am done shooting and generally draw from first when i get to the range the next time; it has enough of a mixture of rounds that I can put together at least a a few strings of fire for just about any firearm I own.

I've done it too. When they are in those big stacks and all the boxes are the same, it's an easy mistake to make. |

i bought a dessert chicken in 44mag shortly after they came out. manual said don't shoot all lead, semi- jacketed at the least.
i picked up a box of full wadcutters by mistake. "what can a single box do?" i said to myself. 8 short shots later and my gun was inopperable. lead shavings blocked up the gas port. oh well. sold it long ago, so it's no longer an issue. |

I bought a box of .22lr when I asked for .22 Mag. The boxes under the glass counter were sitting next to each other. The kid grabbed the wrong box. CCI boxes do look similar. At least I only paid for .22lr.

I have a 100 rd. Winchester valu-pack of 20 gauge sitting on the shelf. Nobody I know owns a 20 gauge. Hoping to find somebody at the range to give it to.

If you guys just bought more guns, you'd never be able to buy the wrong ammo.

I bought a box of "9x18 police" once. As it turns out it IS NOT just a fancy name for 9x18 Makarov. It's only chambered in some obscure gun I will never buy. I have no idea what the hell i am supposed to do with it now though.
