[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 638611, member: 29890"] Belted magnums were very popular way before the 60s, the initial firing is headspaced off of the belt, then the belt and shoulder can be used in conjunction to get the best accuracy. Belted magnums can be extremely accurate, as the 300wm and 300wby hold more records than all others combined. With good brass they are not inferior to beltless cartridges like some would lead you to believe. I have nothing against the WSMs or RUMs, with there rebated rim it is a good way to get a large case to fit a standard mag boltface, I have 2 WSMs and 2 338 variations off the the 300 RUM case but there drawback is feeding reliability unless your rifle is a controlled round feed. All cartridges have flaws but the belted cases have been around 100 years and I don't see them being tossed aside anytime soon. I single feed my rounds, but for consistent mag feeding the 300wm or 7mm rem mag are about as reliable as it gets, and both do just fine unless your hunt at 1 mile. [/QUOTE]
