[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1728507, member: 78056"] JE, I guess we're going to have to agree fo disagree. The odds of fouling a chamber are pretty low and pretty much anything in the way of external crud (like gumbo mud... personally, I love gumbos, you find all kinds of neat things around them) that gets in there that could foul a non-belted cartridge would be just as likely to foul a belted cartridge as well. They were functional back in the day, with cordite, but with todays powders I just don't see a function. As I've said before, the stock market won't crash & the sky won't fall if people continue to use them (which clearly they do!) but I just don't think they have any practical use today. And this is coming from a guy who still owns one! I *might* feel differently if I were hunting in Africa but I don't think so. Not that I've never changed my mind or anything...
