Rifle Ammo
7X64mm
The 7X64mm (7X64mm Brenneke) was introduced in Germany by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1917. Rarely seen in the United States, it remains popular in Europe. Although the two are not interchangeable it is very similar both dimensionally and in performance to the 280 Remington...which means that, with a rimless case and more compact ammunition, it comes close to 7mm Remington Magnum performance. Both Federal and Remington have loaded 7X64mm ammunition, and both rifles and ammunition are readily available in Europe. — Craig Boddington
