[QUOTE="Mark_in_utah, post: 9466, member: 1503"] Belted cases are not the problem, it's the lack of headspace on the shoulder. Many top-notch gunsmiths will adjust the chamber so that the cartridge headspaces on both the shoulder AND the belt at the same time. Tight chambers work good whether it's a belted case or not. The .300 WM is known as a pretty accurate cartridge. I adjust the dies on my 7 RM to give me a slightly snug close on the bolt. Accuracy improves. Unbelted has more potential for accuracy, but that's not to say you can't have a very accurate belted rifle. Mark in Utah [/QUOTE]
