Who is loading 7.62x25?
« on: July 24, 2004, 03:24:48 PM »
Who if any, are rolling their own rounds of 7.62x 25 Tokarev? What components are you using?

I am using steel Lee dies, Starline brass, Sierra 85gr RNSP, Accurate Arms #7 (two .3cc dippers equal AA minimum load of 9.2grs), and CCI 200 small pistol primers. I haven't tried this load yet so I don't know what to expect in accuracy or recoil.

Anyone have a load they want to share?

90 gr xtp's to about 1700 fps are nice...but I was concerned about penetration with a hollow-point, so I switched to 85 gr Sierra round-nose soft-points.  Accurate lists data for these at 1913 fps with 13.1 grs of old #9.  I am using 13.0.  They definately make that little pistol bark.  I also did some experimenting with the 224 sabots, but even though they are faster...the .308 bullets perform and penetrate better.

My shooting buddy has been using 95 grain jacketed bullets in reused S&B cases.
I think he's using AA#5 powder, but I'll have to check on that.  His loads tend to be somewhat lighter than the factory S&B loads.

I've been loading my own 7.62x25.  Brass is a mix.  Some of it is S&B, some Starline, and some of it is reformed .223 Rem (all sorts of brands there).  For bullets I've loaded 90gr XTP's with Hodgdon Titegroup, and 110gr Rainier RN with Accurate #9.  CCI small pistol primers.
