[QUOTE="dirtball, post: 385004, member: 7344"] What happens to the cartridge case design ahead of the belt has no bearing on the headspace gauge of a belted case. The gauge only measures the depth of the belt. Virtually all cartridges from the 257 Weatherby thru the 416 Rem Mag are .532 base dia and are 513 just ahead of the belt. PTG lists ALL belted mags as being interchangable. See line 2. [url]http://www.pacifictoolandgauge.com/pdf/headspace_gauge_interchangeabilty_chart_12_15_08.pdf[/url] If you look at a headspace gauge for a belted case you will see that they are much smaller ahead of the belt that the case would be.
