No, those are for the .32 ACP.has some .32 cal (.312") in 71gr.
I know. It's one of those "see if I can do it" things. Last year it was making a pound of decent blackpowder. Berdan -> Boxer is down the list a ways. (next item is making 7.62 Nagant Revolver brass out of .223's without a lathe)Reworking berdan brass to boxer will get old fast. Sell the old brass for scrap and use the money towards new boxer cases.
I was going to buy Starline brass in 7.62X25. If I'm reading their web site correctly that brass will handle the higher pressures for the Czech M48 load data.
The 7.62x25mm Tokarev was adopted by the Soviet Union as it's official sidearm cartridge in 1930. The 7.62x25 was chambered in the TT-30 and TT-33 automatic pistol lines, a design inspired by the Browning 1911-seies, but with additional technological advancements. The 7.62x25mm is a high-performance cartridge, generating 9mm Luger-equivalent energy levels with a much smaller bullet.
The cartridge is very close to .30 Mauser (7.63x25mm) specifications in both dimension and performance and will interchange and fire in many cases. An indepth comparison between the 7.62x25 and the .30 Mauser is available at...

Reloaders new to the 7.62x25mm should be aware that Chinese and Russian ammunition cannot be reloaded, being both steel-cased and Berdan-primed. (With corrosive primers to boot!)

Don't play around with the AA#9 loads published by AA between 2000 and mid 2004.
The late 2004 data from AA is dumbed down to the 30 Mauser loads [level of pressure] that Hornady and Sierra publish.
The problem is the CZ52 is not very strong. The bottom of the chamber is thin. The slot for the rollers in the bottom of the barrel cuts into the chamber strength.
It may be the cheapest pistol for sale in America right now, but it is not the best designed.
