The 6.5 x 65 R is a powerful rimmed bottlenecked centerfire cartridge designed by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1927. It is ideally suited for hunting large game such as deer and elk at medium-long ranges, with velocities of up to 3,100 feet per second achievable with bullets weighing between 120 and 160 grains.
Due to its rimmed design, the 6.5x65R is generally easier to handle while still offering enough power to take down big game animals at long ranges. Additionally, the round has excellent accuracy and consistency when used with quality ammunition, making it an ideal choice for target shooting or competitive shooting events such as F-Class or PRS matches. It has also been used in military applications, most notably by the German army during World War II where it was used in the Gewehr 43 semi-automatic rifle.
When it comes to reloading the 6.5 x 65 R, you'll be pleased to know that there are many different types of brass cases available on the market today in various sizes depending on your wants and needs; however due to its versatility most reloaders tend to opt for Berdan primed cases which are easy to find thanks to their abundance on both store shelves and military surplus shops alike! Additionally if you're looking for a reliable round that provides impressive performance without too much kick back then look no further than the 6.5x64 Brenneke!
