Very nice PJ, I’ve been looking for a case similar to that for mine as well, PM me your source if you don’t mind. Also that cutting edge bullet is a Euro design with emphasis on allowing the “hunt” to be enjoyed from start to retrieval. Europeans have always placed value on enjoying every part of the hunt, to include the searching of game and walking up on your trophy. The cutting shoulder is designed to cut hair on impact so as to leave a trace of hair at the impact spot, and allow the hunter a known starting spot to begin searching for their game. In years past “bang flop” was a rare occurrence unless the spine or other CNS systems were hit, so an animal running off and having to be tracked after being shot was simply an additional part of the hunt to enjoy. I shoot the same type bullet in factory loads from my 7x65R, if the load is accurate enough for your needs don’t be in a hurry to make empty cases. Use them until they’re gone, and remember a double gun or drilling should be sighted in with you holding it in both hands. Not like so many others shoot bolt guns and allow a gun to freely recoil at the bench.

I sighted this in with only the forend supported by a bag. Speaking of the 7x65R, I also have a Kreighoff O/U combination gun in 16ga/7x65R in the importation pipeline. Lapua brass for it was on sale, so that will get handholds exclusively. No rush for dies since I can round the necks using a K&M mandrel and seat bullets in the 280 AI dies for the first 100 rounds, and if I only neck size I can probably use 284 or 280AI dies. I have a bunch of old 175 grain Sierra GameKings that have been waiting for the right rifle.

Check GB for ammo, I recently bought 10 boxes of S&B ammo cheaper than what I could load for. I was lucky enough to find some vintage RCBS dies on EBay as well.
Thanks for the link in the case.
