[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1525606, member: 12995"] The non-belted cases only hold more powder because they were designed from a different parent case, and designed to different specs. [B][I][U]Most all[/U][/I][/B] (not all, but most all) belted cases derived from the .375 H&H Magnum, which came about in 1912... The .375 H&H inspired the .300 H&H, which later inspired all of the American magnums until the RUM cartridges came along, and were designed from the .404 Jeffery parent case. The .404 Jeffery has been around longer (1905), but by around 1960 it had almost completely died and disappeared. It was used in small circles of shooters, but it really wasn't used commercially again until 1999 when Remington introduced the .300 RUM cartridge, which quickly spurred the .338 RUM and .375 RUM in 2000, followed by the 7mm RUM in 2002.
