7x64 Brenneke - Opinions

[Jon Glajchen]

Great caliber! Has very little recoil and punches way above its weight. Mine likes heavier conventional bullets like Sako 170gr Hammerhead as well Barnes TSX monolithic 160gr.

The rifle is a custom Mauser 98 built in Austria on BRNO VZ 24 action. It is slim and trim and a pleasure to carry in the bush. It has a S&B fixed power 6x scope.

Currently using the Hammerheads at a claimed velocity of 2780 fps. I’m using it in the Bushveld where it knocks everything down with monotonous regularity. Species include Kudu, Impala, Wildebeest, and Warthog. Here’s a pic of my daughter in law who used it to take a nice impala.

Unsure if you bought it, if you did, hope you like it as it's a fine calibre. 150gr and higher is ideal for the 7x64 in my opinion. Most prefer the 7x64 due to heavier bullets as heaviest 7x64 - 177gr v 270 win - 160gr .

The calibre will not harvest your intended prey but a good bullet and shot placement will. Your prey will not know which calibre it is from

Happy Hunting with the 7x64
