Narrative:
On departure out of mke while climbing to 7000' the captain called 6000 for 7000' and I began my level off. The altitude alert sounded and I noticed the third altimeter read 7300'. I immediately descended back to 7000'. My altimeter read 6400', and I thought I had 600' to climb. The reason this altitude deviation occurred is that I failed to reset my altimeter from qne to QFE.
