[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 903757, member: 11717"] Who said belts caused problems? Never said any such thing. I just don't like them because they serve no useful purpose at all and I like a nice clean case wall. I will say that belt or no belt, it doesn't affect accuracy. One thing I HAVE noticed is that I read a lot more about case head separation in relation to belted cartridges vs non belted. Maybe that's because handloaders don't use the right technique for head spacing and/or chambers are not properly headspaced? Don't know. I will say that in considering the WSM, Dakota, Win Mag or RUM, the Win Mag would be fourth on MY list because of the belt and I like the 404 Jeff based cartridges. Now if someone asks me, "I am looking for XYZ in a rifle, will the 300 WM work?" and the WM fits the requirements, I'll say sure, it will work. Nothing against the belted cartridges except I don't care for them and I think there are more "efficient" cases out there. [/QUOTE]
