You are absolutely correct about the 300 in a 223 chamber. That can end very badly. I already have both I have. 556 rifle and a blackout rifle I have specifically marked magazines for my blackout and am very careful when I take them to the range I will not shoot one without the other put up its case. It's really no different that owning a 243 and a 308 you have to be safe and mindful about the ammo your using. I also own 2 glocks a 26 and a 23 one is a 9mm the other is a 40 same thing again.
I dont even understand how you would accidentally get your hand in front of the barrel without knowing it? That's just simple gun safety. I hate that guy lost his hand but damn he what was he thinking?
You are correct about the 4473 but in this case I'm using a 80% so I wont have to fill one out.
