[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2027667, member: 38048"] There really isn't an issue with the belted mags if you know how to set up your sizing dies. And the streching isn't an issue either because the case is held in place by the belt so most all of the stretch is in the front of the case. Basically when you shoot a factory load it's just doing a very mild fire form. Set up your die to bump a few and it will be good to go. If it was a problem the 300winnie and 7rem mag wouldn't be so popular. Some people don't like the belt on them but I don't really care if it has a belt or not. It's not in the way and doesn't hurt feeding and doesn't appear to hurt accuracy at all. The belt is just a relic from the H and H rounds that needed it for reliable headspacing. With the 7 and 300 and pretty much all belted mags can be set up to headspace on the shoulder and the belt isn't doing anything, just along for the ride. My all time favorite cartridge is the 257wby mag and the belt has never done anything to make me not like it. Shep [/QUOTE]
