Load data for caliber "6.5 x 64 Brenneke"
The 6.5x64 Brenneke is a classic and powerful cartridge that has been in use since the early 1900s with its popularity persisting to this day due to its impressive velocity, relatively mild recoil, and low chamber pressures for more consistent performance at longer ranges! Developed by Wilhelm Brenneke in 1910, this round was initially designed for hunting game at medium-long ranges but eventually found its way into military arms due to its superior ballistics compared to other rounds of similar size!This versatile round is equally suitable for both hunting and competitive shooting. For hunting purposes it performs exceptionally well when taking down medium sized game animals like deer or antelope at medium ranges while still providing enough kick back for experienced shooters yet remaining gentle enough for those who prefer shooting lighter calibers! Additionally on top of being suitable for hunting it also has become popular with competitive shooters due to its outstanding accuracy beyond 500 yards thanks primarily to its generous powder burn ratio resulting in lower internal pressure while still delivering high velocities necessary for achieving tight groups!

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
