I had a .300 Magnum years ago and hated the belt. It seemed redundant to me having the case also headspace on the shoulder. It was also a weakness in the brass and can cause case head separation. I learned to reload on that cartridge and haven't had that hard a time sizing brass since.
I'm tempted by a 300 or 7mm Mag, but that belt still bothers me... Is there a reason for it or was it really all hype from that time period? If the 50 BMG doesn't have one, does a point-sized Magnum really need one?
