In FS 214-11 I described my experience firing a surplus Czech Cz52 in 7.62x25mm.
I decided that to complete my "education" I should fool with the Tokarev pistol also.
A charge of 5 grains of Bullseye was recommended by Hatcher for the 7.63 (.30) Mauser and is also listed by Lyman. That starting load was not enough to cycle my Cz52, but 5.3 grains of Bullseye measured by RCBS Little Dandy Rotor #10 cycled reliably when loading the Accurate 31-087T.
Based on successful experience in the .32 ACP my plan is to try Olin AutoComp in loading the 7.62x25, by using the same RCBS Little Dandy measure rotor which meters a safe, well-proven load with Bullseye, simply filling the measure with AutoComp, firing test charges in the Cz52.
I plan to use the 31-087T bullet which has been successful in my .32 ACPs, but have also ordered an Accurate 31-087B with band diameters reduced to .310" which should work as-cast and unsized.
If you are loading for the 7.62x25mm, what are YOU shooting?
