The 7x64mm (top) and 7x65mmR (bottom), both designed by small arms inventor Wilhelm Brenneke. They are quite similar, but the 7x65R differ and the cartridge features a rim in order to be easily used in single shot and combination guns.
The 7x65R, also referred to as the 7x65mm, 7x65 Brenneke or other designations, is a rimmed centerfire cartridge developed by German small arms inventor Wilhelm Brenneke in 1917(?). It is similar (but not identical) to the 7x64mm Brenneke, and features a rim in order to be used effectively in single shot or combination firearms. The cartridge holds a 7mm (.284 caliber) bullet and utilizes a large rifle primer such as Federal #210 primers.
It was designed and is suitable for medium to large game from boar, to perhaps even bear and moose hunting, as advertised by a number of manufacturers who still offer this cartridge.
