[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1400455, member: 2736"] [QUOTE Since I don't know how belted cases are made in the forming process, I can't comment on the benefit to the manufacturer for not making the belt. Some rifle maker+ammunition maker would need to take this on to make it fly. If I were a commercial maker I would not do this unless there was some "perceived" benefit that could be market hyped to create sales. Belted cases are formed the same way as non belted cases except with a different set/size of forming punches.

The main advantage of the non belted case to the cartridge maker is less brass is needed to produce a non belted case. As discussed, It does not effect accuracy if proper loading procedures are followed.
