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.

7.62x25 Tokarev Load Data for the CZ-52 Pistol.

This is specifically written from my experience loading 7.62x25mm ammo for a Tokarev TTC. 7.62x25mm Tokarev Military Surplus Ammo is typically made up of a.308 diameter 85grain Copper Jacketed Lead Round Nose Full Metal Jacket bullet. These cartridges are usually Berdan primed brass cartridges.

(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.
