Powder through die for 7.62 x25?

[Toolsteel]

I would like to be able to load 7.62 x25 Tokarev on my Lee four hole turret press.The die set I have does not contain a powder through die.
What do I do ?Is there a universal .30 cal die? My press is equipped with a Lee auto disk powder measure.

You can purchase the powder through 7.62 Tokarev die separately directly from Lee for $13.98.

Thanks for that link . Why didn't I think of that? Guess I just panicked !

Works great too.
I've been reloading 7.62x25 for about 6 years.

nice that they make one. I was going to suggest trying a 30 lugar or 30 carbine expander in a 357 body die. that's what I use for 300 blackout, and have been eyeballing using for 30/30.

Why would the OP need to Frankenstein together a die when Lee makes the correct he is looking for?

Toolsteel, you've got me curious, as I have the Lee 3-die steel set (Lee #90769) that comes with the powder through expander die. I added a factory crimp die (#90086) to make the 4 dies because it wasn't offered in Lee's 4-die sets. Is that what you have?

I was wondering the something initially and then guessed he has a different brand of dies than Lee.

My set was a used Lee set ,but I have since rectified that by ordering a new Lee set from Midway.They actually got here yesterday so I loaded up a hundred Sierra 85 grain .Next I'll be trying to load for accuracy.My barrel slugs out to .312 so wish me luck on that.

In reality that might be a good thing for you. Trying to find good light bullets in .308" is not easy. Your barrel is actually .32 Cal which provides you with a lot of choices.

Sierra has a good 90gr JHP bullet that is on sale right now.

You can buy plated bullets in several weights and Cast bullets too.
Missouri Bullets sells a coated 78gr bullet meant for the 32 H&R Magnum that is .312" and will be perfect for your gun.

Thanks for all the responses! Now that we're talking about Tokarevs (mine is a Yugo M57), does anybody know why they have a reputation for shooting low?I know my single action revolvers shoot lower with a lighter projectile and higher with a heavier projectile and I can understand why .Do you think this same phenomena occurs with the Tok?

It doesn't matter which gun you shoot from, heavier bullets will have a higher POI than lighter ones.

Yup, that's what I thought. I'm thinking a little tiny bit less velocity would be good too.
