7.62 Tokarev (.312) bullet options?

[GHinNH]

All I want is a 85gr FMJRN to duplicate mil ammo.

I see nothing other than Hornady XTP and Sierra HP that are copper jacket. Berrys makes a RNCP 71gr but the speed is well over their recommendation of 1250, especially with lighter bullet.

I've seen mention of MagTech 85gr FMJRN, but it appears they no longer offer them. PPU is .3065 diameter.

Any suggestions where to look?

I haven't seen any tok bullets for sale at all, have you? Ended up splitting a mold with my buddy, although I still need to coat the resulting bullets and figure out what the sizing should be.

The easiest answer is to cast your own. A 32 cal cast boolit sized town to your requirements would be a forever answer.

I've miked surplus 7.62x25 Polish, Romanian, Yugoslavian, Czech, Polish and Russian ammo. The largest bullets I found measured .309" on the bearing surface, most were .306"/.307".

Try the Prvi bullets, I've had good luck with them.

The Lee .311-93-1R works well when powder coated and sized to .309" or .313" depending on bore size.

I can't recall the exact load, but it was just enough Unique to reliably cycle the actions of my CZ-52's.

No... everything is dried up so far as I can tell.

I finally cast my barrel with CerroSafe yesterday to find out it is .312. Bought 200 PPU 85gr a while back but they are .3065, I grabbed them in a hurry while the getting was good without thinking. As a last resort Badman sells a 78gr RN coated but there are not even any sample packs available.
