Gonna need you to eplain the whole "worthless belted rounds" concept. Are you trying to say the 375 H&H, the 458 Win Mag, the 300 H&H, the 7mm Rem Mag, the 300 Win Mag, the 416 Remington, the 350 Rem Mag, the 264 Win Mag, all the Weatherby rounds and a butt load of wildcats are worthless?

I'm going to guess that there have been millions of game animals shot and killed with these "worthless belted rounds". So, what is it that makes them worthess because it sure isn't the effectiveness of the rounds. Besides, if you didn't want a belted round you already had all the Dakota rounds, the 30-06, 30-40 Krag, 308 Win, 35 Whelen, 7x57 Mauser, 6.5x55 Swedish, 270 Win, 280 Rem, 243 Win, 6mm Rem, 257 Roberts, 260 Rem, 7mm-08, 8x57 Mauser, 9.3x62 Mauser, 9.3x64 Benneke, 7x64 Brenneke etc... that have also accounted for millions of game animals. Pray tell what is it about the WSM that make all the rest obsolete?
