What is the proper max AOL for the 7.62X25? The book says 1.377".
I have been using Hornady 86gr, RNSP bullets, that measure .511" long. The box is marked ".30 Mauser", which is .308". I load the same for both the Tokarevs and the Broomhandles. The absolute maximum AOL I can get is about 1.350". That is crimped at the very bottom of the cannelure. They load, fire, and eject well.
The photos I've seen show a bullets that look a lot longer, but they are not identified. What is out there that is longer?
Can I assume I'm OK with the .027" shorter cartridge?
