[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1401143, member: 103996"] J E Custom I agree that after fireforming it’s essentially a shoulder headspaced cartridge, however in magnums where you don’t have a lot of barrel life, I personally don’t want to have to shoot rounds just to fireform them. That’s to me like getting cheap tires but doing a burnout before you take off from a red light to get the traction of a better designed tire. You speed up the degradation of something. Sure you know you’re gonna have to replace the barrel as it is like tires, but why speed up the process if you could just have a non belted round and not have to fireform them? Just my opinon, I’m not totally against belted rounds, they have their purpose in slick feeding and also with mostly straight cases with not a whole lot of shoulder, but the 300 Win mag and 7 rem mag would have been just as successful if Winchester and Remington removed the belts from their designs. Instead of having to fireform and then headspace from the shoulder, why didn’t they just headspace from the shoulder to begin with? [/QUOTE]
