The 7x64mm caliber was developed by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1917 and was considered the German answer to its American counterpart - the .30-06 Springfield Brenneke developed the 7x64 from the 8x64, which did not enjoy a consistently positive response. The 7x64 is considered to be very racy and enjoyed a high popularity since the 1930s at the latest, especially in Germany.
The fact that the 7x64 is still quite widespread in Europe today is due to the fact that in some countries military cartridges used for civilian purposes, such as the .308 Winchester, 7 × 57 mm or the 8 x 57 mm, are banned.
Another advantage of the 7 x 64 is its wide range of use. From roe deer and chamois to wild boar and red deer, all game species found in our country can be successfully hunted with the 7 x 64 using the correct loads.
