Hey guy's, I know this is an older post however I wanted to let you know that you can trim 5.56/.223 brass to about 1 inch and make 7.62x25 brass. Depending on the manufacturer you may need to thin the neck a little. If ammo is unavailable this is an option, to do on a rainy day. I have a 5 gallon bucket of 5.56 blanks that will become either Tokerev or Blackout ammo.

Based on 30 Mauser not luger (7.63x25mm)

It’s kind of popular here. Way more than one would think. It’s a higher presure 30 Mauser. Lot of mauser broom handels been wrecked by Russian ammo…..

12:50 - speaking of that, at one point during the war, the Red Army had entire infantry divisions equipped with PPSh and PPS submachine guns. It really was a prelude to the development of the assault rifle.

The Russians were making PPS submachine guns in Leningrad while it was literally under siege in WW2. They’d go from the half destroyed factory directly to troops on the line. They used the same barrels as the Mosin-Nagant rifles, just cut down and reamed for a 7.62x25 chamber. Wartime expediencies. It’s a very cool round. I have a Czech CZ-52 pistol that fires it.

Ppsh 41 drums hold 72 rounds for anyone who's wondering

I want a 7.62x25 Tokarev AR pistol now! It would be amazingly practical and an incredibly fun range toy!

Well done. Now do a #10MinutesTalk about the mighty .222 Remington, please. Greetings form Germany.

The 7.62 Tok would be awesome in a Stribog, Scorpion, B&T or a Kriss Vector.

Would be nice to see a small light bolt action in 7,62x25mm with modern bullets.

Love that round i had the cz52 and you can use the7.63 in it but the muser cant use the 7.62

A handgun that uses the 7.63x25tok and isn't the tt is the CZ.52 handgun. I recently acquired one and it's a nice pistol.

Could you do a podcast about hand gun hunting cartridges? I.e. 500 magnum 460 etc

Considering the handgun before the Tokarov was the Nagant , it was a quantum leap!

Alsaka / Yukon, Cartrages Overview. .30's / 338's / .375's / .416's / .458's Guide guns, all weathers, ... the works.

Great show I loved my cz-52

I read that Russian officers had to qual at 80 yards with the tt33, so once hearing that I tested that theory. You can definitely put 8 shots in an 8" circle at that range if you have a good barrel cause they're known to be pitted and if you do your part. I had to put mine on sandbags but I can believe the claim now. It's my edc and favorite pistol cartridge to reload

Came from the Mauser bottleneck cartridge but a higher pressure

Great video boys! Thanks Greg, you the man!

My 1st pistol cartridge!! i love my cz52

I would like to see you guys cover the .303 Brit.

10 min talk on the 338 win mag?

Can we get a 10 min talk on what people have for cool cartridge ideas that haven't been implemented yet? Wildcat it with Vortex Nomenclature!

I really enjoy these little snippets, and I like to be different so I shoot the lesser known 22s. 22 Hornet, 221 fireball, 222 & 222 mag. You've mentioned some of these before but I'm putting my vote for a talk sometime. Thanks and keep up the good work!!!

I’ve got an AR upper in 7.62tok. Bought it back when surplus ammo was cheap. The only real downside is having to clean the barrel after each range session since the surplus ammo is corrosive.

I always love com block stuff. Thanks Greg. I still want a modern pistol in 9mm Makarov.

Oh man that 7min abs line was freaking hilarious... Well done Mark!!! LOL

I like my CZ52 and Tokarev TT-30 pistols -- especially the Toks. I bought 3 of each when they were cheap. Further, I like the round. Most of my brass is cut-down .223 Rem/5.56 brass.

That was a really cool video I love that 10 minute talk , leared a. bunch want one

I do own a original, Soviet made TT 33, manufactured in 1953, with the CCCP letters on the grips, I also do own a C-96 "broom handle" made around 1898. The TT-33 is incredible reliable, accurate and powerful, yet is a very simple design and by the way the pistol looks, it may not impressed much a potential user, it is a very simple pistol, cero esthetics, but it does have a punch, that is a fact. Base on what I have read, the soviets copied this cartridge from the Germans who made it for the C-96 "Broom handle" Keep the good work on your channel, I'm a subscriber and almost daily visitor. Cheers from CR, latin america.

The fun thing is that pistol cartridges don't really go obsolete like rifle or carbine-type cartridges do. As long as the pistol cartridge is of sufficient power, rimless and fits in a box magazine, it's good to go. 7.62 Tok could still be a service pistol cartridge today with a modern bullet. The biggest issue is the overall length. It's longer than 10mm or .45 ACP which means gripping guns in 7.62 Tok can be difficult if you don't have big hands. Especially in a double stack gun.

The burp gun is what soldiers called it in the Korean War. (Ppsh-41)

Can you do a podcast about handgun hunting like the s&w 500mag and the 460

The PPSh is an awesome gun to shoot. You can write your name at 50 yards with it. The Russians also had entire assault battalions armed exclusively with PPSh's

The 7.62x25 was a direct copy and improvement on the .30 Mauser, which was based on the .30 Luger, which was 7.62x21mm. As for the 7.62x25mm, it was chambered in the following pistols: Soviet TT30, TT33, Czech vz52, Russian OTs 27, Chinese Type 54, Chinese QX04, and Yugoslavian M57. It was also chambered in several submachine guns, including the Soviet PPD40, PPSh41, and PPS43. At around 1500 fps out of a handgun and 1700 fps from a subgun, it's a potent and accurate little cartridge.

CZ-52 ALL DAY!!... One of my favorite guns to shoot

Great stuff, Maybe do 300 RUM, hunting & ultra long range!

To add up to the information provided, the armour piercing property is not only because of the diameter and the speed: the jacket on those bullets has steel in it (they are magnetic!). And as for guns other than Tokarev, Norinco (Chinese manufacturer...not available in US) manufactures the NP762, which it is basic a SIG P226 clone rebuilt for 7.62x39. Cheers from Canada!

I would love to hear a talk on the 264 Win Mag.

Have a cz52 and just bought a 9mm barrel. Love it.

Oh......I now have a Norinco NP-762. which is in 7.62x25! Crazy smooth shooter, accuracy is excellent. Equal or better to my other more modern 9mm's.

@ 2:00 The PP-19 Bizon SMG had a variant, the Bizon-2-07, which is a 7.62 Tokarev PP-19 that unlike all the other 6 models, didn't use the helical magazine that the weapon was known for, but a conventional 35-round steel box magazine that seems to be identical to ribbed PPS-43 magazines and is only capable of firing semi-auto. Seems like it was intended for the civilian market.

The Tok came from the ..30c96Mauser you can shoot the mauser in a tok. The .30 luger is a whole lot shorter.

I would like to hear you talk about the 25-35 win

I want to see a 10 min on the .22 hornet and .22 k hornet

I'm pretty sure the PPSH 41 had a 71 Rd drum.

Only one Person... please talk about the 8x57IS (8mm Mauser). You guys are great! Greatings from Bavaria/Germany

Hello from the UK 🇬🇧 Can you please do a talk on the amazing 6MM PPC

Still get new manufacture norinco, s&b and prvi under 30 doll hairs per 50 up here in Canada.

the early days of the soviet union they like the 30 mauser but wanted a hotter version thus the 762x25. bottle neck rounds feed easy also in the 90s china sport offered a tokorav with a extra barrel and spring for 38 super. the round is 1650FPS out of the pistol

I didn't read all of the comments so, if this has been covered I apologize. You stated that the 7.62x25 had origins in the .30 Luger. This is not the case. It's origins go to the 7.63 or, .30 Mauser. During the Bolshevik revolution the Russians bought lots of Mauser C96 pistols. When they started to develop a new pistol the .30 Mauser was used since they already produced that ammo. They simply uploaded the ammo and that became 7.62x25 Tokarev. Adopted in 1930 for the TT30 and later the TT33.

FYI Norinco has made the NP762 that is a Sig 226 clone in 7.62 x 25.

I've been toying with buying a Zastava M57, just for the heck of it.

In modern firearms... Russians made pp19 bizon chambered in 7.62x25 and norinco makes px 30 chambered in 7.62x25. So yeah. Its still kinda in use.

Would love to hear you guys talk about .357 magnum!!

Please do a talk on the .30-40 Krag!

Only problem with this cartridge is a lack of hollow point expansion. Maybe with new bullets made for the 30 super carry, that could change.

I would love to see the 35 rem on a #10MinuteTalk

9x25 Dillon needs love

How about a talk on the .224 Valkyrie?

Enjoy your discussions fella's. How about another cool Russian cartridge...the worlds longest serving military cartridge: The mighty 7.62 x 54r

In Canada Norinco made Sig p226 clones are available in 7.62x25

204 Ruger next please!

Do a episode on 8mm rem mag and 30-378wby.

There should be a boat load of home made monster pistols in my country in 7.63x25mm.

Can you do a podcast on 351 wsl?

OK, 300 Hamr, please!

Rate of fire averages between 1100 and 1200 rpm on the ppsh 41

The Right Tok load could have... 1. 357 Mag Power in a Semi Auto 2. Kevlar defeating properties 3. Great 1 shot stop Civillian capabilities... I've written Buffalo many times for Modern TOK LOADS!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

7.62 tok should have become more prevalent than 9mm Luger

7.62x39mm

7.62x25 is found in more nations and warzones around the world than 9mm

Since you've done The Ackley's isn't it time to do The Sherman's?

300Blk please!

You can infact buy semi pps43s still

Interesting.

357 Bain & Davis = 44mag necked to 357.

7.62x25 is a 300 blackout short.

338/06 please

Okay, now do 9x23 Winchester.

I think 9 mm basically displaced the Eastern block versions of 380 end in reality everything else has been replaced by 7.62 x 39. 7.62 Loses a ton of energy out of a shorter barrel but it still more powerful Then most Is normal hand gun ammo.

Cheytac 375/408

The Ukrainians are in-fact using a few old Tokarevs!

Since you guys are on the 7.62 round, why don't we cover the AK's big brother round the 7.62×45.
