For how much I really want to love the 7mm Remington Magnum, I just can't get past the fact that the cartridge has a belt. My first rifle was a 300 Winchester Magnum and I reloaded for it. It was the first round I ever reloaded for, but that belt really started to bother me and I sold the gun (it was too much gun for me at the time as well).
Now I love the 7mm bullets but can't seem to bring myself to buy a 7mm Rem Mag. The 7mm WSM is pretty much dead and the 280 Remington doesn't offer me much over my current 7mm-08.
Does anyone else really hate the belt on traditional magnum rifle rounds? Do you see any advantages of having a rim?
Nosler did just release the 280 Nosler (A super fast 7mm magnum) without the belt... I would be interested if it ever made it to sub-$1k rifles.
