[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 1727013, member: 79364"] Theirs nothing wrong with a belt, but no advantage either. After getting the case formed you headspace off the shoulder anyway making the belt irrelevant. It does not add any strength to the primer pocket when compared to the same size bolt face cartridges (.532 vs .532) and has less case capacity than a non-belted case. Some people have reported belted cases expanding or bulging just above the belt but I have no first hand knowledge of that. After saying all of that would I turn down a belted gun? No way! Belted cartridges are capable of equal accuracy of non-belted cartridges. [/QUOTE]
