[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1530186, member: 10755"] It’s not the fact that belts are out fashioned, it’s the fact that the fatter shorter round can be loaded long and still fit the mag and the fact that little powder space is encroached upon. I DO NOT OWN a single WSM, SAUM or RUM or Nosler. Every magnum I own has a belt, except the 505 Magnum Gibbs. I have built 3 STW’s on Model 70 S/S actions, 1 358 STA and a couple 6.5 STW’s. Have also built a 25 Pronghorn (25-300WSM) that were all fizzles. Pressure rose faster than the bullets could out-run. Hence my comment about ‘better’ cartridges that are more efficient in velocity per grain of powder used. I know the Nosler won’t beat the STW, nor will it beat the RUM, but those 2 ARE inefficient for powder burned and velocity obtained. By all means, build a STW, it’s still a great cartridge. Cheers.
