IF a belted is chambered to headspace on the shoulder and not the belt, it will run with any non belted case. That is how we set up 1k guns in weatherby and 300 win
Wow, nine year old discussion revived! Guess it never get's old. I was kinda getting in to it when I saw my name and that I had responded in Aug 2009. LoL. JohnnyK.
I saw Kirby's post and thought WOW he must be catching up. I never see him on here anymore. Always enjoyed reading his input. Because when the BS stops and you have to put it on target. He, Shawn B&G ltlr Joel and many many others put up exactly what they said, exactly how they said it!!!
I talked with Steve from Hammer bullets a short time ago. He sent me acouple of 7mm 177's I put them on the optical comparator next to the 197Sierria. If your hunting with a 8tw up high or in my case we have 2 7tw rifles in production. Wow a sure killer of all things with consistency that can mitigate the lower BC(should hold vertical with much easier to achieve sd.
The meplats at 30x were exact, weight on my beam scale exact. Then add in you can push these to any velocity envelope.
Yeah but if we encourage folks to use the search bar it has to happen now and then.
Changed my mind about what I was going to say.
They have, since everyone these days has belt-a-phobia. When is the last time you saw a new SAAMI spec belted magnum cartridge hit the market? I can't [off-the-top] think of one designed in the US market, in the last couple decades, other than the 6.5x300 Wby, but that's simply because all Weatherby cartridges have belts, and it's based off the long-time existing .300 Weatherby Mag.I'm honestly surprised that new case development hasn't involved just removing the belt from the tried and true magnums. 7 mag, 264 win mag, etc. Why reinvent the wheel? If the belt is the issue, just retool to produce without the belt.
Agreed! Perhaps it's me but the old search function was better than the current one.
I don't think it's you, Feenix. Every time I try to use it I get something like keywords are too long, too short, or too common. Guess that covers the entire spectrum unless I was going to do a search on Einschwiegr Mehallivitch! Sorry, off topic rant here !
I search with Google and add the name of the site at the end like this.Agreed! Perhaps it's me but the old search function was better than the current one.
LL!
