Interested in results w/jacketed hollow points. Bullets used, feeding reliability, best powders.

TIA,

ps - buy Savage and don't look back.

I will dig up some data for you as it is buried in the basement somewhere. What I did was size 60 and 85 gr. HP's with a Lee sizing die to 308 and had no problems with function.

P.S. you can really get that 60 gr slug going!

"Accurate Arms Load Book Number Two" 2000, has loads for the CZ52, Starline brass, and AA#9. "Accurate Arms 2002 Reloader's Guide", a free publication from AA, has some of the same loads. "11.7 gr AA#9, 110 gr SPR RN, 1.3" OAL, (CZ-52 only) 1688 fps" These are the most powerful 7.62x25mm loads published that I have found. One might infer from these publications that the CZ52 is the strongest 7.62x25mm pistol.

My overload tests contradict that conclusion. I have blown two CZ52's into pieces with loads that my Tokarev and Mauser C96 have fired and survived. I have not had any problems with CZ52's and book loads, but I know there is not much safety margin.

The Mauser is not a 7.62 Tokarev, the Mauser load is hotter, as the Mauser pistol is stronger.
