  • Mark and Jim surprise attack Ryan Muckenhirn with the 7x64. Wait, that came out wrong. Ryan is OK…. We invite Ryan to chat with us about the popular-in-Europe 7x64, but don’t let him know the topic at hand until we begin recording. That should clear things up. A listener request, this interesting 7mm cartridge will make quick work of most critters. Listen in to get Ryan’s take on it, as well as hear Jim somehow weave in a challenge to all of Europe. Thanks a lot, Jim.

    Here in South Africa we tend to have a very sweet spot for the 7mm bore diameter with regards to the 7x57 and more over the 7x64 of late. With so much history dating back to the Anglo-Boer war, the Boers used the Mauser 98 chambered in 7x57 to great extend and effectiveness over the British Lee-Enfield .303. The 7x57 was used by the Boers for basically everything, from fighting wars to putting food on the table to protecting against wild animals like leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, you name it. Today it is still considered to be a very fine and capable cartridge that can take down just about every game specie outside dangerous game here. From thick bushveld hunting with 175gr thumpers to open plains game with 140gr bullets, the 7x64 can and will do it as Ryan said "modestly" without being overly destructive. As with .30 caliber bore also being very popular here, it doesn't hit home like the 7mm's do as it is common here to hunt big game with a smaller caliber. .222-50 and .243 frequently put some big game on the dinner tables here.
    A little history of the 7x64, the 7x64 Brenneke was designed by Wilhelm Brenneke as a possible replacement cartridge for the German Empire during WW 1. Unfortunately for the Germans, the war ended before Brenneke's design could take hold and had to be left aside until the outbreak of WW 2 where he presented his design to the Nazi military command as a replacement to the 8x57 as it was ballisticly superior to the 8x57. The Nazi Military command kept with the 8x57 as their standard military issue and Brenneke's design had be side shelved again until the end of the war.
    After WW 2, military cartridges were deemed illegal for civilian possession as surplus military rifles were available at the time. The 7x64 was then introduced as a replacement option on the civilian market and quickly became one of the most popular calibers on the European continent as it's ballistic and terminal performance was superior to many other available calibers at the time.
    It's a ballistic twin to the .280 Rem, a necked down 30-06 case with a slightly longer neck to accomodate the longer, more ballistic coefficient bullets that the .284 calibers offer with almost the same powder charge as from a 30-06 with less recoil and felt effort.
    Just thought I'd babble a bit on this amazing cartridge. I absolutely have a love affair with 7mm bore diameter. I think my wife is jealous of that fact.🤣🤣
    Thanks for the awesome work you guys put into your channel. Really enjoy the reviews. Keep up the good work.

    It is real easy to reload the cartridge and will group anything from 140gr up, in my case, 162gr. My entire family, wife, both sons and daughter in law have used this rifle to bag their first animals. The rifle is great at distance and pretty flat shooting out to 500yards.
    It has a great following out here in South Africa and I really hope we could get some reloading DOPE from folks from Hodgon, Nosler etc.

      With the right bullet and an ethical, experienced hunter, the 243 Win is plenty for lots of game. It’s legal for elk hunting in New Mexico. While I would advise more for such a large, tough animal, there’s no doubt that a well placed 243 can get the animal down and dead! I haven’t utilized the solid copper or bonded bullets, I’m convinced that a Swift A-Frame or Nosler Partition would drive deep enough and expand sufficiently to cause mortal damage to an elk.

    7x64mm is not a popular cartridge in Finland but some use it for sure.
    Here the most popular ones are .308 Win and 9,3x62mm for moose and whitetails. A lot of people use other ones as well but those two are the big ones.
    For smaller game there's a lot more diversity, .222 is widely used for grouse and everything between that and .308 is good for roe deer.
    Distances are rarely over 150 meters except for birds. Very dense forest and limited visibility so ballistic performance is not a big deal.
    I would say the top 5 for big game are these:
    #1 .308 Winchester
    #2 9,3x62mm
    #3 6,5x55 Swedish
    #4 .30-06
    #5 7x57 or 8x57

    250 Savage- first smokeless cartridge to hit 3000fps, and the parent case of the 22-250 Remington. Originally offered in the Savage 99 and Savage 1920.
    300 Savage- First attempt at equaling the 30-06 in a short action, and the inspiration (or parent case) of the 308 Winchester. Originally offered in the savage 99 and savage 1920.
    400 Whelen- wildcat by Townsend Whelen, a 30-06 necked up to use 405 Winchester bullets. Use 30-06 basic cases or 35 Whelen cases. Using normal 30-06 cases will result in headspace issues (from what I’ve read). From what I can find, only ever offered in custom Griffin and Howe rifles.

    British here 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
    I’ve shot the 7 x 64 Brennecke at driven wild boar in Croatia in the winter.The 7 x 64 is a cartridge that is in between a .270 and a 3006. It has the fast flat trajectory of a 270 Winchester and the thump of a 3006.
    I would not put it up there as far as a 7 mm Remington Magnum but more the 3006. And yes it is very popular among mainland Europe, not as much in Britain but mainland Europe it most certainly is, I think it is the preferred cartridge as it will take any European game.
    I speculate on this next point but I think it was made 7mm because the legal calibre requirement for shooting certain game in Germany was 7 mm and the only 7 mm I know that existed I believe during the last century was the 7 x 57 mm Mauser, so basically Brenneke gave it a bigger explosive charge for the same bullet. It, the 7x64 may have been used in ww2, i did read an article about it online but I can’t remember if it was or not.

      The Minimum Caliber on Fellow Deer, Red Stag, Wildboar and Chamois in Germany is 6.5 with a minimum of 2000 Joule of Energy at 100 Meter. The 7x64 was created cause it was easy to fit in a regualar Mauser 98 System where the 7x57 and 8x57 has left room open.
      The 7x64 is nowadays most popular in France cause it is no Military Cartridge (they are not allowed to have Military Related Cartridges in Privat use) the 7x64 is for Continental Europe the same as 30.06 for American with the same punch. It fits perfectly between 270 and 30.06 and can handle every living Animal in Europe with good Balistics an manageable Recoil. The cases of 270 / 06 and 7x64 are the same with different Bulletdiameter. The 7x64 is more versatile than the 270 cause of the variety of Bulletweights available for 284dia is much more than for 277
      P.s. it was not used bye the Military Brennecke designed it for the Military not only for Hunting as Sniper Round but it was not adopted

      The 8.5x55 Blaser looks like the round that Winchester should have made instead of the .325 WSM or Remington should have made as a short action ultra magnum (SAUM). It’s very similar to a WSM or SAUM case and .338 (8.58mm) rounds sell a lot better than .323 (8.2mm) rounds in the U.S. and Canada. My guess would be that Winchester didn’t want to compete with its existing .338 Winchester Magnum and Remington has had a history of terrible implementation of some really good concepts.

    The advantage of the 7x64 over the 280 right now is ammo cost. Ammo inflation has hit the european calibers a lot less. Picking these calibers that are produced by S&B, PPU, and Norma will save you some money. 280 running about $1.75 or more a round. 7x64 will run less than $1

    Greetings from 🇷🇸
    7x64 with barrel 24 inches and 140gr bullets is for small to medium game and with 175gr bullets is for big game hunting (wild boars in Balkan countries are very big, males are 300-400 pounds). And 7x64 have very mild recoil equal to 308 but the energy of 7 Remington Magnum. So, the popularity of 7x64mm is in 7 pounds rifle, soft in shoulder, long range capable and lot of knock down power 😉

    do a Europe vs US huntingtradition, rifle, cartridge, law comparison. That would be fun!
    One of the most obvious differences I see in Europe, is that we use wooden furniture rifles, like Sauer 202 ect, and classic break action shotguns (side by side and over and under).
    We don't use a lot of "Black guns" like ARs for hunting.... it isn't well seen upon.
    And there is a lot of optic snobbery... Zeiss, Khales, Pecar, Smidt & Bendner scopes being huge over here...

    Yeah the 7x64 seems to fall between 280 rem and 280 ai in performance, with the 280 ai beating it by ~200 fps in 140 gr bullets.

    • @boredboiseboy

    Great review
    I have the 7x64 in a new steyr clii
    It is an extremely accurate cartridge
    Velocities I've obtained so far are 2725 w/ 162 gr hornady and 2800 w/ 145 gr speer. 2750 w/ 150 gr nosler
    Case capacity is lower than the 270 win by a couple grains
    The brenneke is moderate for sure., but it makes it up with extreme accuracy.
    I love the cartridges and the steyr. I highly recommended the package for those looking for something special.

    A cartridge that comes with a lot of interesting stories is the Martini Henry. There's a few caliber options for it but it has its place in European and African history (for good and bad) like our 45-70s and 30-30s. Both being conquerers of continents

  • @Boomhower89
    @Boomhower89 Рік тому +1

    I have one in a old Zastava Mauser 98 style rifle. 7 x64 Brenneke is the best all around cartridge. It is the most popular caliber in Europe. Flat shooting wide range of bullet weights available.

  • @easttexan2933
    @easttexan2933 Рік тому

    to get 7mmMag velocities one has to load 120gr booleets. the 7x64 Brenicke compares most favorably to the 280 with 140gr and most favorably to the .308 with 150grs.

  • @johnywolfs104
    @johnywolfs104 9 місяців тому

    Brenneke also made the 9,3x64. Better than the .375H&H on longer distances. A real knockdown hammer but not as popular as the 9,3x62.

  • @kirlu50

    I think the closest American analog to the 7x64 is the 270 Winchester, which in European nomenclature is 6.9x63.

  • @davewinter2688
    @davewinter2688 Рік тому

    7x61 Sharpe & Hart Magnum developed by famed shooter, ballistician etc Phil Sharpe and Dick Hart in early 1950's. Based on 300 H&H case. Much closer to 7mag than the 7x64. Capable of 2900 fps with a 175 grain bullet. First chambered commercially by Schultz and Larsen in their bolt guns around 1953. In "normal" times brass and dies still available. I foolishly passed up a set of dies a few years ago. Cases can be fire formed from 300 H&H. You might still be able to find some factory loads, maybe from Norma, but I'm not sure. I have no burning desire to own a 7 Rem Mag but now I'll have to put the 7x61 on my "want it just to have one" list along with 257 Roberts and 9.3x62 Mauser. I've already got both of those in progress. Happy hunting boys and girls!😄

  • @hode22
    @hode22 Рік тому

    Brenneke designed it for the Mauser 98, came maybe 10 years before the .270 Win, ballistically equal. Maybe you loose 10% speed vs the 7mm rem mag. but you can get a normal length action for this. It has light weight bullets for roe and long and heavy bullets for moose and red stag and with very high sectional density. so if you want a do it all , it is cheap and perfect. maybe not so good for extrem short barrels like a 308 Win or a 9,3x62 or 8x57.. and the recoil is managble for all hunters... really a great to it all, came in rimless for drilling, double rifle... 7x65r and great for reloading.. , was in preperation for the sniping k98k in ww2, but for logistic reasons came not...

  • @jacklengyel6515
    @jacklengyel6515 2 роки тому

    Wait.wait.wait.... The 7 Rem mag isn't Thor's hammer? 140 grain soft points or tipped at 3300 fps = not much calculating holdover out to 400 yards and very dead deer. No tracking skills required. C'mon Ryan get with the program man!

  • @donbow450
    @donbow450 Рік тому

    It's kind of gotten out of style. Some of its popularity in Europe also steems from the fact, that in France for some time it was prohibbited to use military calibres. Also due to its past popularity, there is a bunch of cheap used guns, you can get. It has quite a big overlap with .270, but you can get hevier Bullets for the 7x64.

    A lot saying it’s more similar to a 280 which is wrong the 7x64 will fling a 140gr about 200fps fast and will usually be in a twist rate faster then the 280
    In that weight of bullet it will be only be 50-100 fos slower then a rem mag

  • @woodsmansfinest3814
    @woodsmansfinest3814 Рік тому

    Just back from Hungary stalking fallow deer, taking three over the shooting sticks using my Mannlicher Schönauer carbine in 6,5x54MS. 46cm {18"} barrel. Pre 1923 manufacturing, with a 70s Swarovski Habicht 2,3-9x42 scope. Hemmingway wrote about this rifle and it has near legendary status. I chose it as both components were made just kilometers away from were I am from. Yes, we use a lot more conservative cartridges and our guns are often old, handmade and in comparison very expensive. However, less modular, budget friendly and so it is a little less fun in some ways. Hunting here is an elite sport but also a very old cultural aspect with tons of customs and traditions attached. Hunting licenses take months to pass and trophy fees apply. That's due to history and population density. Also, our game is scarce sometimes and often much smaller than in North America so a 7x57 {with is a military round} or 6,5x68, 6,5x54,.243 etc does it pretty much across the board. Also, our optics are the finest in the world, our game is small and we have lots of traditions against things like shooting bedded game etc so I dare to say we emphasise on precision out to 300 yards and that's where we traditionally put our limit... For the most part.
    Cheers from Austria

    Germany here, the 7x64 is a good cartridge, but it's dying. Since there aren't to many lead free loads available that outperform .308 and .30-06
