    Reloading 7.63 mauser cheat?

    Everything i have read says 7.63 mauser and 7.62 tokarev are identical to the T, now my question is if i used a kenetic bullet puller and broke down some of my surplus ammo and reloade with some mauser formulas would it be safe to shoot? Or are there some features about the surp ammo im failing to notice that will cause my c96 to blow? Thanks

    COW indicates the two are close enough for using 30 mauser in the tok but is silent about the reverse -
    It should be ok as the the 30 ammo is slightly more powerful than the tok.
    There should be no reason not to do as you like - being mindful of corrosive berdan primers and steel cases -
    COW also suggests the hornady "plinkers" might make a nice small game round -- Big squirrels?

      All my surp is brass cased, pretty sure corrosive primers, although i forgot to clean my tok for a while after shooting it and no corrosion( that i can see)

        30 Mauser is more powerful than the Tok round? I ran some old us loaded .30 mauser through my CZ-52 and I couldn't tell much difference between it and the 54 polish and 55 yugo 7.62x25 I ran through it afterwards. I always thought the tok loading was just a sloppy copy of the 30 mauser with a bit more powder.
