I'm perfectly happy with my 7 Rem Mag and have been shooting it for 30 years. The deal about the belt is mostly hot air. If it bothers you, there are now specialized dies that let you size the brass all the way down to the belt, one of the arguments made against the belted mags. The keys to accuracy are at the other end of the case IMHO and they can be controlled just like any other cartridge.

The 7mm projectiles are inherently more accurate than the 30 caliber bullets which gives the 7 Mag a downrange advantage over the 300 Win Mag any any other 30 cal (see Brian Litz's article on this HERE. Brian is the chief ballistician for Berger Bullets.) And take a look at that short neck on the 300 Win Mag while you're at it.

The other advantage of 7 Rem Mag is the availability of ammo and components compared to something like Weatherby ammo. Just my opinion of course. YMMV
