Kinda late to ask - but no shame there.
Looks like you will be the expert on that lot.
Let US know how it worked out, and other particulars.
I shoot mostly S&B in that round. I did have some 'ammo in white boxes' that came with a pistol. After I knew the gun was OK with 'known' ammo, I shot a little of the 'white box' stuff.
It was corrosive, as I suspected (eye and nose test). But it all lit off and seemed to shoot a little hot. I have wiped and kept the full 'white box', it may not be worth much, but is surely is 'different'.
We will be waiting to hear ...0 -
You mean there is such thing as non-corrosive 7.62x25 ammo?
Just hose your barrel down w/ Windex when your done shooting it. Then a patch down it with some gun oil.

Yes there is non-corrosive 7.62x25 ammo. made by Hansen Cartridge Combany comes in a pale green box marked .30 combat, but it is 85 gr. FMJ. Also Fiocchi make 7.63 Mauser with an 88 gr. FMJ.

S&B 7.62x25 is non-corrosive.

Is it "New" or "Next" generation? I sold the Tokarev a while ago. I remember buying a lot of it in red plastic boxes. It turned out to be Czech made, but packed in South Africa. Very good and non-corrosive.
Midway replaced my Tokarev barrel because I bought some of their surplus ammo, white box, that they did not have marked as corrosive. 100 rounds and 2 weeks later, the barrel was ugly.0 -
vepr762 please check this auction number and let me know if its the same stuff you had #16839267.thanks don 0 -
Have fired a lot of these thru my CZ52. Good ammo. So now that you've did the buy-it-now you can quit worrying[:D]
It is S. African ammo. and the price is reasonable, but no bargain as it is not uncommon to get RSA at gun shows for $6.25 to $6.50 per 50 rnds. and w/ your shipping charges your in the same ballpark.
Enjoy it ... 7.62x25 is a slick rould and BTW there are saboted 223 rounds available for this chambering ... but they run about $50 a box and I'm not laying out that kind of money.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0 -
