Here we go again....the myth that Tokarev ammo is too hot to shoot in broomhandles.
In the latest issue of Military Surplus Dr. Will Dabbs wrote an article on C-96s in which he repeats tired old myth once again, probably because hes been reading it for years so it must be true....right?
For the record, once and for all. here are the ballistics of the two rounds as they were loaded in WWII.
7x62X25 -------- 1390 FPS out of a Tokarev, about 150 more out of a subgun.
7.63 MAUSER---1575 FPS out of a broomhandle,

Which one looks hotter to you???? EH???? A C-96 in good shape can shoot Tokarev ammo all day long. Mine has been doing that for years, over four thousand rounds worth.
