[QUOTE="winmag, post: 430243, member: 22166"] The 300 win, 7 rm, 300wby etc. is based off of the 300 H&H idea of how to headspace off of the belt on the case vs. headspace off the shoulder, thus the belted magnum fadd. The weird part is that the belt is completely worthless and un-needed if you headspace off the shoulder, wich is what almost everyone does for accuracy and case life. Call it a marketing gimic or a way of setting yourself apart, I dont know wich, but the Holland & Holland guys started the fadd. Its not so bad to work around, you just headspace off the shoulder after youve fired it, and the belt becomes just another useless step you have to work around. Its also likely the most common place for a case to fail.(where the belt and case wall meet). The wsm case is based on the 404 jefery case (no belt) and necked down. So all headspacing is at the shoulder. [/QUOTE]
