[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1727112, member: 2736"] The rim of a case fits on the outside of the breach and is normally much larger than a belt has to be because it fits in the chamber which is very controlled in the diameter. With the rim being much larger, it has to be stacked in front of the last one loaded in a magazine or used in a tubular mag like a leaver action that places them one in front of the other. The belt is normally only .011 thousandths larger than the case body. (.022 overall) and can easily be stacked on top of each other in a magazine to feed well. The back of the belt can/is also rounded off to aid feeding past the lower round in the magazine. Also the case head is smaller than the belt so it does not have an effect on feeding. The rimed case head on average is .084 larger than the body on most rimed cases and will not pass buy each other because of the combined height of the two rims and the flat surfaces on both sides of the rim while feeding so they are placed in front of each other in the mag. Thus the reason that the feed system is much different for the rimed cases. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
