    Lol, I have been struggling with this exact problem. I went to the Accurate powder site and got some loading data there.

    http://www.accuratepowder.com/data/PerCaliber2Guide/Handgun/Standarddata/30Cal(7.62mm)/7.62x25 Tokarev HG FINAL.pdf

    I also got some data from the insert that came with my Lee dies. It shows considerably hotter loads.

    I loaded several batches with AA #7 and 110gr. Remington FMJs at 6.7, 7.2, 7.7, 8.1 and 8.6gr. I'm off to the range this weekend to see about which level signs of overpressure begin to show.

    As for other powders, I'm pretty sure the Lyman manual also has some data, but I don't have this available.

    The reloaders seem to have taken over the Paintball forum here at GB. You might try posting this question there as well.

    If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, pick it up. If you can't pick it up, paint it.

    I have had success using the Hornady 90 grain HP/XTP (#31000) over 5.3 grains of Bullseye. More comfortable to shoot than S & B factory ammo. I recently bought some Berry .308 110 grain plated round nose, but have not yet had a chance to try. I think I will use 5 grains of Bullseye to start.

    My load is: Hornady 90 gr. LSWC over 5.0 grs of V.V. N340 and a CCI 500 primer. Works for me in my CZ52

    I'm off to the range tomorrow, so I'll let you know how they turn out.

    Durn things! During feed, the action shoves the bullets into the case, compressing the charge! Thank goodness I didn't actually fire one in this state!

    This, in spite of having lightly crimping them into place! You can't crimp them too forcefully, or the neck will buckle.

    Any ideas as to what I ought to do?

    You need to get a Lee Factory Crimp Die.
