Interesting that the Germans used a belted/flanged case for the 13 X 64. Belted cases were originally designed to cure head-spacing issues with tapered cartridges and narrow shoulders of the likes of the .375 H&H Magnum. Later, belted cases became de rigeur for sales in North America where many thought 'belted magnum' was one word. Perhaps they felt the shoulder on the 13mm was insufficient to guarantee reliable head-spacing?
