7.62x25 Tokarev Load Data for the CZ-52 Pistol. Given the high cost of 7.62x25 Tokarev ammunition, I'd like to start reloading it again. Where is the best place to get the bullets? I'd prefer 85gr FMJ. The 7.62x25 Tokarev offers high velocity and power for its caliber and is capable of superb accuracy. Pistols chambered for the Tokarev have been imported into the United States for several years, and you can get caliber conversion barrels for 1911-type pistols to fit a 9mm/.38 Super breechface. Red Faced testing 7.62x25 TOKAREV loads The loads with the 30 carbine 110 grain plated.308 bullets, with 5.6 grains of Tite Group, in my TTC sure function my gun properly. Now when it comes to accuracy I must describe the handgun as becoming a shotgun with this ammo. I am able to keep a group at about 20 inches at 15 feet from the target.
(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.
All loads developed with New Starline Brass and Winchester Small Pistol Primers.
