[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 1384161, member: 88091"] I think it comes from the possibility of the bolt head riding over the top edge of the rim, especially with a larger bodied case. With a larger body the case can sit lower in the feed lips and if the rim doesn't protrude as high as the rest of the body the bolt head could miss the rim and strike the case head instead of the rim. Jon R. Sundra talked about it with a .284 in one of his articles. Also, Chuck Hawks mentions it in some of his articles. Personally, the only case I've ever had feeding issues with was a 7mm SAUM. Like I said, I'm not sure if their is a ton of actual evidence, but it seems to be a concern. If one is hunting something that might bite back it seems prudent to consider all the factors that might lead to reliability issues. [/QUOTE]
