A method of manufacturing seamless pipes having medium-thick or thin walls from an elongated hollow body of limited length which is reshaped by rolling to the desired final dimension, as well as a rolling apparatus for the carrying out of the method. This method of manufacturing seamless pipes having medium-thick or thin walls from an elongated hollow body is characterized by the fact that, with only one rolling pass the diameter of the hollow body is significantly reduced and by using an inner tool the inner surface is smoothed with only a slight change in wall thickness. Further, this method allows for the rolling of the axis of the hollow body to align with the axis of rolling. The rolling apparatus includes an inner tool which cooperates with two rolls to reduce the diameter of the pipe to a desired final dimension, the two rolls each having an inlet part, a feed part, a reducing part inclined at an angle within the range of more than 2 DEG and up to 10 DEG and adjoining same, with a transition in the form of a circular arc, and a substantially cylindrical reeler with a difference angle to the working part of the inner tool within the range of 0 DEG to 1 DEG , followed by an outlet part.
