Eric -

Just because a ctg. has been around for a 103 years, does not mean it's case design is the best. It only means it's case design is over 100years old & is still being used by a lot of shooters.

If as you say, "Millions of rounds fired, thousands upon thousands of game killed, 100 years plus of history...means one of us is on the wrong page!!!!" actually means the cartridge design is the best - you need to re-calibrate your ruler. It is OUTDATED and is a design that is not needed - if it was needed, there would be no rimless ctgs. of greater power.

Is there something wrong with a belt - no - not if it's needed. I don't believe I ever said there was anything wrong with the belt. I said it is not needed on any shouldered round we use today that I know of. Name one if I am wrong. However, what the belt does for sure, is promote or allow overlength machining of chambers that cannot occur, is not allowed to occur with rimless rounds - I believe I did say that.

Did I say that H&H specifically designed the rounds with belts so they could do sloppy chambers - I don't think so. Show me where & I will apologize and retract that erroneous statement? That is not a true statement as far as I know, if indeed I said it, I must have been drunk.

I do believe that more modern rounds, rimless rounds, of the same or more power, will eventually replace the belted rounds, such as the .375, .300's, 7mm's, etc amongst the majority of hunters.

Will there still be rifles around that shoot .375H&H cartridges in another 100years? - yes, of course, just as there are rifles around today, chambered for old, obsolete ctgs. There will be holdouts for the H&H - just as there are holdouts today for many obsolete rounds of 100 or more years ago.
