The cases looked great after firing with no smeared primers or any other signs of excessive pressure, unfortunately I forgot to measure for case head expansion.Īll rounds were fired from a new production Zastava M57A - $250 at Budsġ5.2 grains of W296, Quickload estimated pressure is 40K psi and estimated velocity is 1630 fps, This load averaged 1558 fps over the chrony - I expected more from this one, W296 is obviously too slow for this cartridge I don't care what Hornady's manual says.Ĩ.5 grains Power Pistol, Quickload estimated pressure 40K psi and 1580 fps, averaged 1629 fps over chronograph - This was much faster than expected and I will be loading 8 grains from now on. I used brand new S&B brass and primers which I pulled from loaded ammo (Clark says S&B brass is the strongest for this round). If you plan on duplicating these loads work your way up and don't hold me responsible if you or your gun blow up. What do you think of the 7.62×25 Tokarev? Let us know in the comments below.Some of these loads are over the recommended 35K psi limit for this round and are right around 40Kpsi according to Quickload. Paul likes it okay - for hunting jackrabbits. It’s an interesting cartridge - what cartridge isn’t? - but not one I’d choose on purpose due to ammo availability and cost, not to mention the lack of good ammo for self-defense. In an accuracy test, he shows that commercial ammo often does much better than el cheapo Eastern Bloc ammo… and that you can indeed shoot a nice group with the 7.62×25 Tokarev. The results are impressive, even from its 9-inch barrel. He then moves on to a Polish PPS-43CS carbine in an attempt to measure the increased velocity of using such a firearm in lieu of a handgun. The results were, shall we say, disappointing. He begins by shooting some various ammo through a CZ 52 pistol, first through a chronograph and then into the patented Meat Target. I’m not one of them - I prefer heavier slugs - but different strokes and all that. What we have here is a round that sends its light bullet at high velocities, which is something many people adore. Paul tests the effectiveness of 7.62×25 Tokarev ammo out of a pistol, and a carbine. Typically terse, the video description simply says: This makes it safe to use the Mauser groceries in a Tokarev-chambered firearm, but NOT vice-versa. That’s when it was more or less stolen from Mauser by the Russians (Soviets), who made tiny modifications to the 7.63x25mm Mauser and loaded it more powerfully. Here’s a video about the 7.62×25 Tokarev cartridge, a necked-down pistol round that was developed nearly a hundred years ago.
