Why Choose Bertram 6.5×58R Brass?

- Correctly headstamped for identification and load records
- Manufactured by Bertram in Australia
- Imported and supported in the United States by Desert Tech Munitions
Cartridge History
The 6.5×58R designation is associated with a historic rimmed European sporting cartridge, commonly identified in technical references as the Sauer-pattern 6.5×58R.
Common Rifle Types and Platforms
- Continental break-action sporting rifles with a verified 6.5×58R chamber
- Drillings, combination guns, and single-shot rifles marked for the exact cartridge
Compatibility warning: Historic sporting rifles may have been altered, rebarreled, or marked under older naming conventions. Verify the exact chamber, bore, and loading-tool compatibility before ordering components.
Legacy
The cartridge survives chiefly in older continental sporting arms, where newly manufactured brass may be the only practical alternative to aged original cases.
Did You Know?
Several historic 6.5 mm cartridges use very similar metric names. A chamber cast or clear barrel marking is essential before selecting brass and dies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this loaded ammunition?
No. This listing is for new, unprimed brass cartridge cases only.
Will this brass fit every rifle with a similar caliber marking?
No. Match the complete cartridge designation to the exact chamber. Similar metric or imperial names may identify different cartridges.
Should new cases be sized before loading?
Inspect every case. Sizing or expanding may be appropriate for the firearm, chamber, bullet, and loading tools.
Why is this brass produced intermittently?
Demand is specialized, so Bertram generally manufactures these cases in scheduled batches rather than continuously.
