The 7×64mm is a rimless bottle necked center fire cartridge developed for hunting.
The 7×64mm ammo is a popular hunting cartridge in Central Europe due to its 11.95 mm case head diameter and 84 mm overall length allowing it to easily be chambered in the Mauser 98 bolt action rifle that was once standard German military issue.
The 7x64mm continues to be a first game-hunting cartridge for many animals and is expected to remain popular across Europe and North America well into the future.
The 7×64mm offered 10-12% more muzzle velocity than the 7×57mm Mauser. This results in a flatter trajectory and better performance at a more extended range.
