If you talk anti-belt propaganda to shooters of deep experience such as my friend Glen Pearce or Jim Cloward, who have won national high-power awards with belted magnums (Cloward the 1,000 yd. Wimbleton), they'll chuckle and advise you to take up a new hobby.

Talk anti-belt to hunters such as Dr. Gerald Warnock and Bert Kleinberger, who have literally taken all of the world's big game species with belted magnums over the course of some forty or more years of hunting and they'll look at you as if you're demented, and rightfully so.

Talk anti-belt to African professional hunters who have literally built careeers around the use of belted rounds such as the .458 Win. Mag., .375 H&H, and .416 Remington, and you'll likely get back a dry response such as, "They've worked bloody-well good enough for my needs!".......

Talk anti-belt to guys like me who have fired and reloaded thousands and thousands of rounds of belted magnums for nearly three decades, and have hunted with same in a score of states and several foreign countries and my response is: "Gee whiz, I must be doing something drastically wrong, because I've never had a problem with belted cases for all these years!"

It's all good propaganda, though, to sell new merchandise to the pilgrims.........
