Reloading 7.62 X25 Tokarev
7.62x25 Tokarev and 110gr.30 Carbine Bullets So I just bought a CZ52 and I want to reload for this, as I like reloading for everything. However, bullets seem to be somewhat on the expensive side so I'm looking around for options and I came across these. For now I m measuring each one. I have a pact digital powder scale and electronic powder measure. Well worth the investment in my opinion. May not be the fastest (not the slowest either) electronic powder measure, but is really easy to cleanout after. Running the numbers in quicktarget, these 210grn VLDs supposedly are only going to loos 200fps velocity out to 400 yards. Designed to shoot in the 7.62x25 Tokarev. This is designed for HANDGUNS ONLY. Buyers should be aware the Thompson Contenders chambered for the 32-20 have a bore diameter of.308 NOT.312 as in all other applications.
7.62x25 Tokarev Load Data for the CZ-52 Pistol. 7.62x25 Tokarev headstamped brass from S+B CCI 500 Primers.30 carbine 110 gr Xtreme Bullets (.308) COAL 1.350' Groups were good. I found best accuracy at 4.3 and 4.6 but more testing will be.
(If using this load data for TT-33 Type Tokarev Pistols, Start at 15% below the Min. Charge given, and work up Slowly.)
Disclaimer
Reloading metallic cartridges may be extremely hazardous if not done properly. Nothing can replace experience and a good reloading guide from a reputable manufacturer of reloading components. Always reduce all minimum powder charges by 10% and 'work up' a load if no signs of over-pressure are evident (bulged cases, flattened primers, etc.). Loads listed are test loads in the author's firearms, and may not be safe in any other firearms.
