[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1630431, member: 2736"] Actually, back when the 7 rem and the 300 Win mag was brought out. (1962 and 1963) Reloading was for match shooters and common distance for shots was less than 400 yards for most hunters. Most of them would buy a box of ammo and it would last for several years. They had no interest in buying a complete loading setup and normally shot and ejected there cases one time. Saving brass and case life meant nothing to them, and the ease of feeding was the selling point. Also for the time some factory loads would produce 1 to 1 1/2 MOA, and if you were lucky you could fins a factory load that could best 1/2 MOA. There was/is an advantage to the belted case in strength in the case web area due to the added thickness of the belt, especially for the primer pockets longevity. Now that we strive for better ammo, longer distances and better accuracy we have to re load. for those that still just hunt and don't re load a box of ammo every two or three years it is still a good idea, So for them, the fully sized belted cases are still a good idea. Before the belted cases came along, it was common for the prudent hunter to try every loaded round in his chamber before going on a hunt, especially a dangerous game hunt. the belt solved this problem without dangerous amounts of head space. Belted cases still have there place and the internet experts cant change that. There are many different designs for different uses, and if they are loaded and used as intended, they will give many years of excellent service and accuracy J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
