One you get the hang of casting and get to know the alloys, you will find that buying commercial bullets is unnecessary for almost 98% of your shooting. it is a real money saver and also builds your understanding of ballistics, plus you shoot more often increasing your Marksmanship skills. anyway good video dude-Dave

Fantastic video, sir. I just begun reloading again after a 6+ year hiatus (starting with .30 Luger) and that lead me here. Thanks for the perspective!

Great video I’m looking forward in getting one my self that caliber looks a lot of fun

Great video. Love the Tokarev cartridge. I shoot a CZ-52, so higher velocities are required to cycle the gun. I loaded Starline brass with the 90 GR XTP & 2400 powder. I am getting a mold though!

That’s a great gun and cartridge. Good groups too. My 5 gal bucket filled with rubber mulch works great for pistols and keeps the bullets intact.👍🏻

Great video 👍. I love all things Tokarev....funny how this gun caught on so recently.....I love mine.... It's why I got my c and r license... God bless

Nice job as a world of knowledge there so thanks....Good stuff...

Neat video. I've just gotten my first bit of reloading stuff.

I ordered a .311-93gn rn 6 cavity Lee mold for my Yugo M-57. I haven't casted them yet. I'm still using my 100 gb JHP bullets. It's nice to see someone else loading 7.62x25 here. I'm looking at buying a Polish pps-43C in the same caliber. I'm overwhelmed with the reloading I have to do. I'm working on some 5.56 right now. I have 1000 to do. I'm about 100 in. I am using the same press as you .I love the Lyman equipment but I'm not that happy with the brass ith powder drop. I had the Lyman 55 powder drop and loved it. I'm going to try to find a one in good condition and use it instead. I have 3 different powders drops and I'm not happy with any of them..I'm sure the 55 will work for me. Maybe the drop that I have may be defective.

i use the same mould for my ruger .327 magnum but load only .32 h&r cases and i love that 32 caliber, powder coated with harbor freight red, i also have a 84 gn .314" rcbs mould that weight out at 88gns it would be perfect fot the tokarev round.

also one of my favorites that round is a hotrod

Nice pistol sir . I think the five gallon bullet trap might work out for you you could fill it full of sand . I use old phone books to trap my bullets great video

HOORAY!!! I LOVE data for the Tok! I have the M57. as well as a PPS-43C, and that is slowly drawing me back into reloading. Is that page of load data you show at 1:50 from a book, or is that a screen shot of a computer program. What book/what program is it?

I have a couple of Tokarev's and they both are .314 in the grooves. I have some .314 lead bullets 77gn for a .32 revolver that are around 12bhn. All the reloading data will push this bullet too fast and lead the barrel. I guess the only solution is to find a .314 mold and cast with linotype. Got any suggestions? It sprays store bought ammo.

Hi. I have the same pistol. My barrel slugs out at .3128" measured with a micrometer. My son has one, as well. His is slightly bigger at. 3135". Wondering if the lee 311-100-2R will do ok, or do I need to find something bigger, like .314" diameter, and swage it, if I have chambering issues, due to the bigger neck. Thanks

What do you size the bullets down to

Nice👍

Hey KFW it’s great you not only found a gun and caliber you like, but that gun in good condition. Great you can start a brass collection and load your powder coated bullets, life is good ! You might Want to check out a channel I sub also, The Yankee Marshal. He has a video on primer drag. The fired Brass you have indicates you have that. The little tails on the primer strike holes is the sign for that. Check out his video on that, it’s a good one :-))
