Because it's cheaper, less recoil, and fun. But you still have the option for the big boomers if you want them.It is sort of like those 9mm barrels for .40 autos, why buy big to shoot small?

Well, only if you want to destroy your $$$$ Broomhandle.Here’s one that’s bound to create some controversy.
Based on what I read, some say 7.62 Mauser and 7.62x25 are interchangeable.
No personal experience, there are those who say it’s okay, and those who say the sky will fall.
Can certainly doesn't mean can safely!.460 S&W can also shoot .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofield.

Well, Lyman's 50th edition reloading manual calls them interchangeable. There is a very tiny difference on case length which is inconsequential. Either round will chamber in either gun. Which brings us to....Based on what I read, some say 7.62 Mauser and 7.62x25 are interchangeable.
I've been shooting Tok ammo in my broomie for years, and a few thousand rounds later it is just fine. A few points to consider:Well, only if you want to destroy your $$$$ Broomhandle.
85 gr @ 1575 according to Small Arms of the World.
You can safely shoot 7.63x25mm Mauser in a gun chambered for 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Can't do it the other way around.Here’s one that’s bound to create some controversy.

Totally wrong!You can safely shoot 7.63x25mm Mauser in a gun chambered for 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Can't do it the other way around.
Cartridges Of the World lists the Mauser round @ 1410 FPS and the Tok round @ 1390 FPS. I don't think either figure is correct today.Small Arms of the World also shows the 7.62 Tokarev at only 1378 fps which gives me leave to doubt their numbers for the Mauser. One of Phil Sharpe's loads for the Broom gives that velocity.
The 1939 Stoegers shows different brands of .30 Mauser ammo from 1380 to 1400 fps.
A number of manufacturers don't really put warnings on their box. I don't see my boxes of .44 Russian saying, "don't shoot in .44-40 guns."Totally wrong!
If it was unsafe to shoot Tok ammo in a C-96 there would be warnings on the box saying so.
Read my last post and let it sink in. A C-96 in good condition can safely shoot any 7.62X25 factory loaded round, including ComBlock ammo.
That's because most manufactures load their ammo with pressures safe in any gun chambered for that round. Most simply state that the ammo should only be used in guns in good condition and marked for that particular caliber.A number of manufacturers don't really put warnings on their box. I don't see my boxes of .44 Russian saying, "don't shoot in .44-40 guns."
And in my Bond Arms .327 Federal Magnum barrel I shot a couple dozen .32 ACP with no problems other than they slipped past the ejector and I needed to poke some of the cases out with a stick from the muzzle..327 Federal Magnum will shoot .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long, and .32 S&W (Short).
Winchester white box 7.62X25 comes in at around 1650 FPS with the 85 grain bullet. Not necessarily higher pressures, just advances in modern propellants. Ammo companies aren't going to increase pressures on a cartridge that has been around for almost a century without a warning on the box. Too many old, worn out Tokarevs lying around .Privi shows higher velocity for Tokarev than Mauser, both way higher than above.
I like that idea. Thinking of getting a NAA revolver in .22 Magnum, so that would easily convert to .22 LR vs buying the separate cylinder for .22 LR.Not exactly interchangeable, but if you cut off a fired .22 WMR cartridge, it can be used as a sleeve to fire .22 LR.
You didn't have any problems because the .327 is loaded to nearly twice the pressures of a .32 ACP. Shooting the latter in an old, black powder revolver is an invitation for disaster.And in my Bond Arms .327 Federal Magnum barrel I shot a couple dozen .32 ACP with no problems other than they slipped past the ejector and I needed to poke some of the cases out with a stick from the muzzle.
I know some Czech 7.62 Tok was hot stuff. Hotter than typical 7.63 Mauser.That's because most manufactures load their ammo with pressures safe in any gun chambered for that round. Most simply state that the ammo should only be used in guns in good condition and marked for that particular caliber.
You might have a bit of trouble firing 44 Russian ammo in a 44-40. The Russian ammo is shorter, the case is smaller in diameter and the bullet slightly larger and heavier.
No, you don't. That is another myth that has been repeated for decades. The former Soviet Union did not allow one subjected nation to load pistol ammo that was dangerous to shoot in the pistols of the other member nations.. And, as we know today, the CZ-52s were a weak, flawed design that had numerous trouble areas and were riddled with breakages and failures. Firing pins that broke with even a limited amount of dry firing. Rollers that deformed and froze up the gun. Or they galled because of faulty heat treatment with the same result. From a military standpoint, where longevity and durability were paramount...the CZ-52 was one to histories worst military handguns.I know some Czech 7.62 Tok was hot stuff. Hotter than typical 7.63 Mauser.
I would hate to see the .270 rifle that shot the .308 . . .This is a small collection of the wrong cartridge chambered and fired I found today in the Range Clubhouse.
