Anyone got a lead on Factory loads?
The S&B offerings are very available , I have both weights.
But they are a bit less than their published velocities....No problem for casual Hog shooting here on the ranch ,but I want to try something else so I can put a nice old rifle to work this season
Appreciate any information or leads.
Thanks

We get Norma and Lapua factory ammo here. Never measured velocity though.

Thanks, and Yes That Norma Load with 156 gr Oryx would be at the top of my list.

Howdy,

I don't know if they are still stocking it but Sportsman's Warehouse had a load of Remington 7x64 recently. I bought three boxes just in case I got a deal on 7x64 in the future.

Thank you , Mark.... I will be checking out your lead.

Sportsman's Warehouse had become my local go-to for stuff the t-shirt-and-sneaker sporting goods stores don't carry.

Thanks guys, I checked them out immediately after reading Mark's response.... they only show the 2 S&B loads that I have already purchased.....

Still looking, keep me in mind if you stumble into something...

I've got a variety of 7X64 ammo.
Shoot me a PM

PM sent, thanks for responding

Many years ago for a beautiful Mannlicher 7x64 factory loads were not available. I did have rcbs dies for reloading. I used 30-06 brass resized to 7x64 with 280 remington reloading data. It worked fine.

This is, of course, rifle dependent.
I guess the question is also about what's available in your area.

In my 7x64 I get absolutely phenomenal accuracy with Sako Hammerheads. I haven't chronoe'd them but all other Sako ammo I've chronoe'd has been spot on.
A bit dear but Lapua Naturalis is excellent on game.
In other calibers, the Norma Oryx has never failed me. - But in my 7x64 I don't achieve the accuracy I desire.

Thanks to the Finnish Hunter,Sir.
I will keep my eye out for the Sako and Lapua Loadings in my search..... I had kind of been leaning toward the Norma, It is th Scandinavian Ammo we most commonly see in the US

.

41 different factory loads at Frankonia store in Dusseldorf - S&B, RWS, Sako, Brenneke, Norma, Geko etc etc 127 grs up to 177 grs. Happy to try and help further if I can ....

.

Thanks to All who offered to help.
I followed up some leads here , and am delighted to report that ammo supply is well stocked now
