- Re: I tested some 7.62x25 Tokarev loads over the weekend « Reply #10 on: December 12, 2015, 11:47:24 AM » I just finished testing the 100 grain 32 caliber XTP's that I ran through a.308' lee bullet sizer to bring them down to.3085'.
(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.
I use a RCBS Rock Chucker press with Lee 7.62x25 Tok dies and a Lee x25 / 30 Mauser factory crimper. This has worked fine. Also, I take all my surplus ammo (Romanian) and run it thru the crimper to iron out the lip of the brass, a very slight setting is all that is needed. The 7.62mm Tokarev is mostly known for its bottle-neck and its high velocity. It is common for 7.62 Tokarev ammo to exceed 1500 fps and 1800 fps can be reached. I have decided to start reloading for the Tokarev and purchased the following: Lee 7.62 Tokarev Dies. Lee 7.62 Tokarev Factory Crimp Die. XTP.309″ Winchester 296 powder.
All loads developed with New Starline Brass and Winchester Small Pistol Primers.
