[QUOTE="cummin_un_glued, post: 879569, member: 28533"] The cost of the brass really isn't a concern to me as long as it is readily available. A year ago when I started building my 7x300win I started out to build a 7mm Dakota but getting brass seemed to be an issue at the time. You cant exactly run down to the local sporting goods store and pick up anything Dakota to make brass from. Wby isn't as popular but at least it can be found locally in a pinch. The 6,5x68 is interesting and I actually did some research on the brass from across the pond and like that it is beltless. Would be real cool but again getting brass would be difficult. A lot of guys steer away from belted magnum rounds but maybe its just because they are what i'm used to shooting they don't bother me at all. I agree that its hard to find an improved belted magnum in fact the only 2 that I came up with while researching is the 270 and 7mm Ackley magnums which were 7mm rem mag brass shortened 050" and improved by pushing the shoulder back which dosnt leave enough case for the velocity i'm wanting.
