I used to call the Euro Stock the Humpty-back camel

I do recognize the stock shape, its what we call a Schweinsrücken (hog back), it is supposed to be the do-it-all shape that allows both proper cheek rest with optics and irons. At least thats the theory. Most CZ 550's sold around here do have that kind of stock shape. I'm happy my 602 has the traditional straight stock setup though, heavy recoiling rifles with Schweinsrücken stocks tend to slap me HARD in the cheek when going low for irons.

I used 70gr. IMR4064 in the .375 with 270gr. Hornady Spire points. That was the old "Go To" load for the H&H ctg., back in the 1970's.

Since I'm soon going to develop loads for the .375 - what case life did you get with your reloads? Just wondering, the only belted magnum I ever reloaded was the .300WM, but I read that due to the shallow shoulder of the .375 case life is relatively short.
