8x65r Brenneke. From the inventor of the 7x64 and 7x65r, both of which were much more successful.

Gorgeous roe.

Maybe the .318 WR. The 8x65r also seems like a nice fit for the kipplauf and mid double crowd.

This source is showing 8x65rs. I believe my existing Bertram brass is marked 8x65r, but that seems to be unobtanium. My assumption is that anything marked 8x65x would be good enough to travel with, but that’s an individual choice.

Gary Cooper owned a number of Juenke Saturn rifles back when the Saturn workshop was in Santa Monica, of all places.

In the off chance that someone other than me needs correctly head stamped 8x65r brass, I believe I’ve found a European exporter. It’s not cheap and the minimum order is about $300, but it seems to be available. I’ve not yet bought from this supplier, but they appear reputable. YMMV, of course...

More like a cross between bald eagle and spotted owl.

Perfect. Thank you.

I was going to buy 1/2”, but you say 3/8” is a better fit? This would be for a 500/416 and a 450 BPE.

I’m Minister of Rum for a small Caribbean nation.

It never gets easier to travel, does it?

I keep a couple rifles around in calibers that had availability during the Covid ammo crisis as an insurance policy. I also have a modest stockpile of inexpensive but perfectly serviceable ammo that’s sufficient to keep me hunting for the rest of my life should production cease for whatever...

PM on the way.

I’d always read the Remington 9.5M was a very hot primer, but you don’t hear much about them.

I meant to include this graph.
