Load data for caliber "7 x 75 R SE v. Hofe"
The 7 x 75 R SE and Hofe are two popular choice of cartridges for hunting medium game such as deer, wild boar, and fox. Both have been used since the late 19th century, but they have some key differences that hunters should be aware of before making a decision.The 7 x 75 R SE uses an 8mm Lebel round with a diameter slightly larger than the standard 7mm cartridge and delivers excellent ballistics with a muzzle velocity of 2,800 fps and an energy of 2600 ft-lbs. It is suitable for hunting out to 150 yards and has low recoil for comfortable shooting.
The Hofe is based on the 8x57mm Mauser round, but has a rimmed case and is designed to be used in single shot firearms. This cartridge offers good long range performance with high velocities (up to 2,600fps) and excellent stopping power; it's perfect for shooting at longer ranges of up to 300 yards. However, it's relatively powerful recoil makes it not ideal for beginner hunters or those looking for comfortability while shooting.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
