    Don't panic there will be some available somewhere ... it just might take a bit of time to track them down.
    There were 7x57R cases available at Gunworks recently but now out of stock. I will talk to Robbie there on Monday and see what might be around.
    The NZ distributor for Sellier & Bellot are Ammunition - SR Marston Wholesale Fishing Hunting Sporting Goods
    and they would be a good bet for stocks or at least to get some in when the next shipment is ordered.
    Dies should be able to be ordered as they are a lot easier to import.

    RWS Cases will be readily available from Australia. But the last 6.5x65Rs I brought in cost an awful lot due to the export permits to get out of Australia.
    100 cases will last you a lifetime once you finally get your hands on some.
    7x57Rs can be necked down and trimmed to function perfectly in the 6.5x57R if that is all you can get to get started on and have the correct dies.

    I would be surprised if there aren't a few guys around with 6.5x57Rs in K95s lurking somewhere who might help you out.

    very best of luck
