Belted vs. Non-belted-- Pros & Cons?
I am planning to build my first custom rifle project this summer and was wondering about the pros and cons of a belted versus a non-belted case. This will be a .30 or .338 caliber (in the class of .300 Win. Mag or .338 Win Mag) to be used with light bullets (and loaded down) for deer and heavier bullets for larger game. I reload and am experienced with non-belted cases but have never worked with belted cases. I have read some place that belted cases can be a pain to reload but found no details. Could someone please elaborate on this? Also what are the other pros and cons of using a belted versus a non-belted case? Thanks in advance.
