[QUOTE="Big_Kumar, post: 2763172, member: 126291"] Belted magnums headspace off the belt, which isn’t an issue by itself. Depending on your chamber and reloading dies there is the potential for inadequate resizing just forward of the belt, which can lead to chambering or head spacing issues. There are products available to address this issue but they add complexity and/or cost to the reloading process. While I agree that the presence of the belt and possible related issues are insignificant to most, I would disagree that “BELTS MEAN LITERALLY NOTHING…” My personal experience has been that I can get a couple of years from a batch of brass before I start noticing any issues. That is more than sufficient for my personal needs with a hunting rig. As for the 7 PRC, I believe the biggest difference is that it is designed for heavier bullets with a little more efficiency.
