You sort of missed the boat, here. Headspacing on the belt can cause excessive case stretch through the body, leading to case-head separation, etc. Creating a false shoulder allows the case to headspace on the false shoulder and fireform, so that it headspaces on the shoulder-proper on subsequent firings.

The bottom line is that brass lasts 15+ firings, if taken care of.

Loading full power 7 mag loads the primer pockets will start seating too easy long before 15 firings.
