[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1570268, member: 10755"] It has been proven long ago that a shorter than calibre neck is NOT a design flaw, nor does it effect accuracy or ability to handle long bullets. This belief is pure HOGWASH. Cases that have demonstrated BR type accuracy with short necks run like this; 243W, 264WM, 6.5-284, 7mmRM, 7STW and 300WM. If you can dispute this, please provide PROOF that shows the neck having a detrimental effect on ANYTHING. The other BS statement regarding headspace on a belt as being a negative feature is ridiculous. Do you know that a rim or belt are THE most positive ways to headspace a cartridge?! Do you also know that a belted cartridge quite often gets the most accurate groupings on NEW brass?! This is due to the belt being perfectly perpendicular to the bore at firing. The US Marines are STILL using a cartridge with a belt for sniping enemies at LR that was invented back in 1963, that is 7 years older than I am. Still a great cartridge to this day.........the good ‘ole 300WM! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
