[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1530962, member: 101780"] I knew this would spark some interest. So bullet points so far. -it's not new and shiny -people don't like belted cartridges -old factory rifles didn't use a fast enough twist in their barrels. I can agree with the first, it's not new and shiny. Second.... Maybe I should start another thread on case design and reloading belted cases. YOU CAN STILL RESIZE AND HEADSPACE A BELTED CASE OFF THE SHOULDER... not sure if people are misinformed or don't know how to set up sizing dies. Thirdly, I agree. Old rifles were not made to stbalize heavy for caliber bullets. I guess my comment about the old rifle in the back of the safe, does limit the cartridge. So from this point on, let's talk about the caliber in an aftermarket barrel with the right twist and optimal freebore. I personally don't own a factory rifle that I didn't immediately rebarrel and true the action... other than a 6mm creed ruger precision, a 50 cal hawkin muzzleloader, a wwII rifle, and an old remington 270 [/QUOTE]
