7x65R – The big brother of the 7×64 cartridge

Wilhelm Brenneke designed the 7x65R cartridge in 1917, and since then it has been one of the most popular calibers for double rifles and combination guns. The 7x65R ammo is ballistically very close to its brother 7×64 and it is ideal for all types of Central-European hunting. The maximum pressure level is limited by C.I.P. to 380 MPa, and the caliber meets the requirements for all European big game including moose, bear, red deer and wild boar. The 7x65R cartridge comes factory loaded with the 10.1 g / 156 gr Naturalis® lead free copper bullet.

Controllable power for big game hunting with the 8×57 IS / 11.7 g (180 gr) Naturalis lead-free hunting cartridge

Truly one of the world’s great cartridges since its birth in the early 20th century, the 8×57 IS was perhaps the first incarnation of modern sporting and hunting ammunition. Today, the 8×57 IS (also known as the 7.92×57mm Mauser or the 8×57mm or the 8mm Mauser) has practically disappeared from military use, but the cartridge retains tremendously popular among Central-European hunters and European hunting rifle manufacturers for the civilian market. The powerful 8×57 IS round also offers controllable stopping power and accuracy for Scandinavian type of big game hunting.

8×57 IRS loaded with the 11.7 g (180 gr) Naturalis lead-free copper bullet – The wild boar stopper in driven hunts

The 8×57 IRS cartridge was born at the same time as its rimless brother 8×57 IS. The original idea was to develop a similar cartridge for the breech break combination guns like double rifles, drillings and vierlings. The other difference to the 8 x 57 IS round is the lower maximum pressure level which has been set for this caliber to 330 MPa. Throughout the years, Lapua’s 8×57 IRS ammunition has earned its success and reputation as a powerful wild boar stopper in driven hunts. The 8×57 IRS cartridge comes factory loaded with the 11.7 g / 180 gr Naturalis® bullet.
