[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1676964, member: 102653"] Yeah, I think you’re wrong... Any belted case is easier to fire form into something else, because of the belt. If it’s headspacing at the back of the case, it allows you to simplify the whole fire forming process. Why you think Roy used them and left them on there? Belted magnum cases have a manufacturing tolerance in the order of .003” , I believe. I also believe non belted cases have a headspace tolerance in the realm of .008”. Belted magnum cases DO NOT come from the factory headspaced off the shoulder. It’s a good .016” back on that dimension, in most cases. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. You don’t have to head down any rabbit hole, but I would hardly consider it hair splitting. We can get back to enjoying the discussion now. That’s about all I got on it anyway. [/QUOTE]
