I was looking for to get some 7x64 brass. But I found that very few brass makers offer brass in this caliber. Norma makes it but it's too expensive. Is there any source for cheaper brass for 7x64 or is it possible to make 7x64 brass from other brass by running them through a 7x64 FL sizing die? If possible please suggest what calliber brass would be suitable.

Thanks in advance.

Davaa - try a post to the 'reloading' forum if you do not get a result here. There is a large number of knowledgeable folks there who have been able to help me out in the past. Rgds. Ian

Makers of 7X64 brass?

Norma
RWS
Remington (I know they used to make it)
Sako
Hirtemberger
S&B

I'm sure there are a few more that I don't know about??

I have friends who have used 280 remington brass that been reformed.

Thanks guys. I was thinking about the 280 Remington cases being reformed. But I wasn't sure. I needed someone to confirm this. How much difficulties involved in reforming the cases? And also if I exactly duplicate the 280 Remington published loads how will they shoot in my 7X64. I heard they are almost identical in ballistics.

Thanks

You can use 280 data for loading, but I backed off a grain or 2 to start. I use Remington brass - but I'll be damned if I can find anyone who carries it now. I am sure I got it from either Cabela's or Midway, but that was years ago. Maybe you could contact Remington via email to see if they still make it and who carries it? Not too sure if you can reform 280 brass though, as I am not into that. I know I had to get < !--color--> $ Custom $ < !--color--> collet dies from Lee for it.

easiest if to get facotry stuff that is right from start. You should be able to find Sako, RWS components in Mongolia or neighbouring countries.

Graf sells the Norma brass at $78/100. By the time you get to reforming cases, this may seem cheap especially since it will have the correct headstamp and lessen your chances of shooting it in another gun.

I assume you are in the US.

Davaa,
you can get best suggestion if we know your country.

Johan is correct. We have Argali sheeps, Ibex, Maral Stag for major trophy game. These can be added by some plains game, russian boar, sybirian brown bear, wolf, roe deer etc. Yes hunting is a tough game in Mongolia. Physical shape and fitness will usually result in your success.

Johan,
it is not a cold problem, I use the whale method , I'm fat ..... the problem is that I had a crash when I was sixteen, and my right leg does not permit extended efforts.
But Mongolia is famous for horses, and if they are strong enough they could be a good alternative.

Yes they are tough little horses. Horses will be provided upon request by the outfitter. If ibex or sheep on the menu you still need to do some climbing. But not too steep mountains.

Ciao
JOHAN

Johan,
I'm not a Buffalo Bill or any of the most famous cow boy, but I still remember something about horse riding. First lesson was climb it from the left..... Maybe I'm not fisically at the best, but I have a good memory.
I don't need Mamie to maintain my round line, even if Mamie contributes, in Italy you can get fat without big troubles in short time.

That's "Old Western Scrounger" here in USA. A good source for all unusual ammo. They may know about export.

Note that the price for RWS 7x64 ammo here in USA is US$39-US$61 per box of 20 and brass is US$19-US$21 per box of 20.

7x64 is very expensive everywhere.

This is E.Arthur Brown Company, Inc., 4353 Highway 27 East, Alexandria, Minnesota 56308 USA. They make 7.62x39/30-06 and 7.62NATO/30-06 chamber adapters. They may be able to make you a 7x57mm Mauser/7x64mm Brenneke chamber adapter so that you can use cheap 7mm Mauser ammo for practice. I had a 300 WinMag Ruger No.1 single shot rifle that grouped 1.0" (2.cm) at 50 yds (45 m) using a 30 Carbine/300 WinMag adapter. So, accuracy may be OK or not. You will not know until you try it. Chamber adapters create very long freebore so handloads should have crimped bullets with cannelures for consistance ignition.

I know, the greatest problem is that the Italian food is soo good and large portions that one fatning very quick I lived in Roma for three months and knows how deadly the Italian traditions is for the figure Best way to maintain fit is chase girls
