7.62x25 (homespun) ammo on Auction Arms...

[Snowdog]

While pricing the CZ-52s on Auction Arms, I checked out the ammunition to see if any neato stuff could be found.
Though obviously brewed up by some reloader, read these descriptions (cut&paste directly from AA) and see if they're about what can be expected of a 7.62x25 from a CZ-52 platform. Some of the energies are impressive... enough to entice me into buying my own dies and see what I can do (though I remain extremely skeptical the numbers reside within safe limits).

The prices are listed to settle any curiousity anyone may have as to what they're going for.

We've just added this loading to our popular lineup of 7.62x25 ammunition available nowhere else. These 50 round boxes of ammunition consist of the Winchester 110g Semi- Jacketed Soft-Point bullet traveling at 1600 FPS for an energy of 625FT-LBS! This bullet is great for hunting small game or inexpensive plinking. It will give consistent expansion and deep penetration. 50/$17

This auction is for NEW (not reloaded) 7.62x25 93g SP ammunition with a velocity of 1770FPS. It features a Hornady SP bullet that has about 1/2 the tip exposed, with the lower half of the bullet jacketed and the jacket crimped into the lead core. These bullets will initially expand very fast, and then the expansion slows for retained weight and deeper penetration. They are on Starline boxer primed brass and fully re-loadable. 50/$20

This auction is for NEW (not reloaded) 7.62x25 85g SP ammunition with a velocity of 1900FPS. It features a Sierra SP bullet that has just the very tip with exposed lead, with the rest of the bullet jacketed. These bullets will penetrate very deeply and slowly expand. They are intended for shots that will most likely have to go through bone or thick hide. They are on Starline boxer primed brass and fully re-loadable. 50/$21

So, what do you think? Are these descriptions of ammunition that a CZ-52 can handle without seriously accelerated wear/parts breakage?

The latter two sound pretty hot for the Tok. round. Id be sceptical to shoot them until you can determine the pressures created by the round.
They do sound fun......

Shoot well

Hmmm, well ...... I chrono'd my S&B 95 grainers at 1500 .... or a shade over ..... some of that stuff you mention ''seems'' a shade hot!! I am sure more can be safely coaxed outa the gun but ... reckon for me .... I'll stay ''sub max''. I intend soon to start reloading but ... will endevor to stay well within limits.

I know 2,000 fps has been quoted (somewhere) but .... really wouldn't want to push the envelope too much. Just me!

I'll take option #2, but only in a 52... or some other gun rechambered for this round... Not a Tok.
Hmmm... With good ammo like this now available to be ordered - I'd be really interested in seeing some better guns chambered for it.
Like a CZ-97 or 1911.

With the accuracy of a CZ-97, topped with a good pistol scope... Wow. Now that would be one heck of a varmiteer package.
