Thread: 7x64 loads

Hi, new to the forum. Was wondering if anyone has been loading for 7x64 (7mm Brenneke)?
Any ideas on powder? I'm thinking ar2209, and 160-162gr projectiles, but open to suggestions.
Also anyone had any experience forming cases from other calibers?
Cheers

Cheers tobes, unfortunately I am still working through the 100 factory Norma I bought so haven't even started to look at handloads yet.



The person to ask would be @Hendrik470

Workshop innovation have brass

Hope ebf doesn't turn up mate he will give you a towelling for asking abouit loads on the internet

Welcome to the forum.

AR2213sc would be a good one for the 160gn pills.

Thanks guys. Generally I wouldn't ask for loads on the internet, but load data for this doesn't seem too common. Even if anyone can point to a manual with good data, that would help. I have the norma data but the powders are a bit obscure / loads seem a bit anemic.

I did wonder about 2213, but no experience with it.

Thanks for the welcome!

You can use data for the 280 Rem as it is virtually identical. I have done this in the past with pleasing results.

Nick Harvey did a big article on the calibre a few years ago. I can dig it out and send it to you if you wish as it has heaps of information and loading data. Just use 280 data as it is basically the same.

Welcome
2213Sc would be my first choice as well, also I wonder about R19 as well? Need to check with someone to verify with that powder/weight and also note R19 can be very temp sensitive. VERY. Fast and accurate in a 280Ai but easy to run too hot in warm weather. Be careful, Obviously.
