[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1675492, member: 93138"] Conceptually it does have A problem. Practically it doesn't seem to matter enough to cripple it, maybe only wound it in the extreme outer fringes. Holds hand up; have had case head separations in a belted case. From first fired Norma brass at that. Split right where Lowedown describes, thinned and then separated just above the belt. Was an 03-A3 action in .308 Norma Mag that was gradually increasing it's head-space, owned by a nuuB who didn't understand what was happening but knew enough to know it was bad. The original reason for the belt was to head-space in double rifles. It wasn't marketing that said "Hey, let's put a thicker part here on the case and we'll claim some dubious advantage." [/QUOTE]
