[QUOTE="jlvandersnick, post: 1675201, member: 40932"] Please explain to me what people are talking about when they talk about potential problems with belted cartridges. I have 7RM and have a 6.5 RM that's shot out....I'd like to be better informed before I build another 6.5 RM, Yes 6.5 Rem Mag. The barrel is shot.....deep excessive fire cracking in the throat and a deep wide parallel crack in the riffling at the muzzle. I bought the rifle used and believe the previous owner got it HOT. The rifle was also dropped muzzle down onto something hard. There is a dent in the barrel at the muzzle. The rifling with the crack in it runs right up the the dent. Pics attached....not the best resolution....but kind of tells the story [/QUOTE]
