[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2372882, member: 93138"] The belt originally had a valid purpose. Then marketing connected the belt to being a 'Magnum' and created the illusion that the belt added case head strength that was necessary for a case to be considered a 'Magnum'. Then no cartridge that wanted to be a 'Magnum' could go without the belt. It has been continued in spite of being useless in most rifles because marketing created the need in consumers. Now 60+ years later marketing has "educated" we consumers and we (finally!) see no need for the belt in a bolt action. With that kind of industry marketing track record the 6.5 Creedmoor is going to be with us for a very long time..... [/QUOTE]
