I recently came across a post on another forum which describes how to form 7.62x25 cases from .223 Remington cases.

I'll dig it out and make a post up one level in the reloading forum because it's not about a load recipe.

I was waiting for a table, at the crowded, Pa State run open and free range, and one of the dudes there who noticed I'm a southpaw, offered to let me use the other side of the double shooting table/seats. I graciously accepted his offer, and unlimbered my 7.62X25 CZ P-52, (I think that's the right number--)
Anyway soon as that bad boy gave out with it's first bellow of full boat S&B ammo, the poor dude fell off his seat, and figured out he'd made a BAD mistake, packed his crap. and LEFT! Whuffa, I cracked up! Guess he had to go change his pants!!! LOL

I went to one of my favorite indoor ranges last Thursday afternoon. One of the range officers turns out to be a CZ fan. He had never shot a 52 so I let him shoot mine. I think that he may be looking for one in the future.

The ony reason why I ask is, I own a few Toka and a CZ52 in that cal and really like them. Everywhere I read that the XTPs in the Tok would be a "great man stopper" but no ones done any physical testing of the loads. I even reload the Toks with the 90 and 100 grain XTPs.

I'm in Alaska and its kinda cold for ballistics gel, right now. However, you've inspired me to try during the 15 minutes of "summer" that we have up here.

Check Brassfetcher tests.

I guess I never did post it. I'll fix that right now.

A great cartridge! Had much fun running the hotter ammo that came over in 90's. Actually sold my Tokarev and CZ52. Wish a manufactured would put this round in a modern pistol in a 1911 configuration. Would be trick.

Good news! You can buy a "drop in" barrel:

Or follow these steps for a conversion:

Depends on how many spam cans of 7.62 Tok you've got socked away.

I guess so….but really…how many people bought an actual pile of those $89 1080 round cans?

I'm down to one unopened can and the last dregs of another. That's a tad more than 1,200 rounds. Wish I'd bought more.
