My Lyman's handbook lists some 7.62 Tokarev loads for 231. For both 86 and 93 gr FMJ: suggested starting is 5.0 grains. Max is 6.1 for lighter bullet and 6.0 for 93 gr FMJ. It says the starting loads may funtion the action of some pistols. Do not use this data for the older Borchardt pistol. Borchardt pistols operate at a lower chamber pressure. Reloading Data For 7.62 X25 Tokarev Ammunition The cartridge is in principle an enhanced Russian version of the 7.63×25mm Mauser. The Russians produced a wide array of loadings for this cartridge for use in submachine guns.
(If using this load data for TT-33 Type Tokarev Pistols, Start at 15% below the Min. Charge given, and work up Slowly.)
Disclaimer
Reloading metallic cartridges may be extremely hazardous if not done properly. Nothing can replace experience and a good reloading guide from a reputable manufacturer of reloading components. Always reduce all minimum powder charges by 10% and 'work up' a load if no signs of over-pressure are evident (bulged cases, flattened primers, etc.). Loads listed are test loads in the author's firearms, and may not be safe in any other firearms.
All loads developed with New Starline Brass and Winchester Small Pistol Primers.
