I know that milsurp Tokarev ammo has a reputation for being hotter than modern factory loads. I have a couple of questions about that? Does that apply to all milsurp? If not, which is hotter? I'm primarily wondering about Bulgarian vs. Romanian, but if you know something about other countries of origin that would be interesting, please chime in.
Part 2 of the question: Are there any milsurp guns chambered in Tokarev that would be considered unsafe with the hotter ammo?
Part 3: Is it reasonable or safe to seek to create handloads to replicate the hotter milsurp loads? Is there commercially available data for that? Or would I be required to move into experimentation to try and do that? (Note that I don't really want to be outside the area of "documented as reasonable safe practices.")
