[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 1247034, member: 79364"] Lack of a belt is a improvement in case capacity when comparing the same size bolt face. That is why the nosler is able to get the same capacity as the stw in a shorter case length and that also improves being able to seat heavy for caliber bullets optimally where they are not taking up case capacity. To me the 35 degree shoulder of the nosler is a better design compared to the stw's 25 degree shoulder. It should not strech as much as the stw and theoretically should keep the flame point inside the neck for improved barrel life. Don't take this as me being a hater on the stw because I'm not. Before the 26 nosler came out I was looking at the stw for some time, the shortage of brass kept me from buying one. I had shot the stw a bit and was always impressed with it's performance. When I started looking at building a 7mm I wanted a un-belted case between the 7mm rem and the rum in Case capacity with a 30-35 degree shoulder and minimum case taper. I was originally going to build a 7 lrm when the 26 came on the market and quickly settled on it as what I was going to build on in 7mm. The only complaint of the nosler case to me is I would have liked a little longer neck. [/QUOTE]
