8x64 Brenneke....Who has one ?

I used to have an 8mm-06AI many years on a mauser 98. Never felt under gunned here in the lower 48. A friend of mine needed it more than I did. I would not mind having another some day but my 8x57 and 338-06 cover the same purposes.

The cartridge 8x64 Brenneke was a good cartridge, but she never was really successful because at that time the cartridge 8x57IS was the placeholder in this caliber class. Brenneke had hoped that the Army would be interested, but that was not the case. Thereafter, she had to compete with the cartridge 30-06 Springfield.

Hey
I have had these 2 ZG47s for a few years now and have carried both across BC looking for edible things. I must admit the 9.3x62 on the left is my favorite to reload for but the 8x64 is my favorite go to rifle.. The 8mm is still limited in bullet selection but its getting better every year..

Hey I remember that User name from back in 2000's on HuntingBC.. I was Huntersdad before taking a break from that site... Good to hear your still shooting..
For a few years I just loaded E-tips and Interlocks. Easy to find but didnt really do what I was looking for. I have settled on 200gn accubonds as the rifle seems to like them..we are lucky to have a great range in Fort McMurray but the shooting season is half that of the Sunshine Coast BC

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.
Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?
Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
