[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1759180, member: 2736"] Belted cases will head space correctly most of the time, but the cartridge will/can change drastically when fired. Some will fit in the chamber with the wrong size bullet and this could be dangerous, so it is always best to have the proper head stamped cases. You are right to worry about someone else using it in the wrong application because it does happen. Fortunately some wildcats like the AIs wont chamber in the parent cases that are stamped with the parent cartridge head stamp because they are bigger, But many wildcats are formed without increasing the case dimension and only increasing the bullet size (Caliber) Like the 300 Blackout and when it is chambered it pushes the bullet back in the case and re sizes the neck. It will still fire !!!. In my opinion the cost of the brass is not worth the risk or worry if it can be avoided. I have seen many cases where the wrong cartridges have been fired in the weapon that matches the chamber ID on the barrel with dangerous to bazaar results and it is scary. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
