7x64 Brenneke - Opinions

The cartridge 7x64 Brenneke was widely used by many French hunters, not because of its various ballistic advantages, but above all because there was little alternative to the ban on all military cartridges in the class 6,5mm to 8mm before the legislation was changed. Unfortunately, this has sometimes given the cartridge a bad reputation if they was not appropriate used.
I haven't had to follow up on anything yet. A fallow deer that was shot in the lungs and liver went a maximum of 50m. If I put the right thing in the right place, the 7x64 will fulfill its mission without any fuss. I've had a rifle in this caliber since 2016 and so far I've only had good experiences, it has never let me down. I don't know what happened to those who had bad experiences with this caliber. IMHO, if I follow basic good hunting practices, if I know what I have in my hands and I also pay attention to hunting ethics, I shouldn't have any problems with any caliber, especially not with the 7x64 in all of Europe. (Attachment: Fallow Deer Doe, fell on the spot from 70-80m)

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
