7.62x25 Tokarev ...powders and charge

keys85 · December 22, 2008, 03:54 AM

I'm looking to load the 7.62 Tokarev with 110 grain jacketed soft points, but can not find data in the burn rate powders of choice. I have load data using AA#7...but am curious as to load data using HS-6/W540 (or H-110). AA#7 is slower than HS-6, but I also have data for AA#5 which is faster than HS-6. Could I use the load data from the faster power to start a load and work up using HS-6 or is this too dangerous?

I am uncertain but H-110 may be too slow for this? Does anybody have any loads using this power or can give me a safe starting load?

Also, can .30 Mauser data be substituted and/or fired in a gun chambered in 7.62x25 Tok?

Thanks.

Yes. I use the same load in both and even use the same dies for both with no problem.
