RUSSIAN 7.62 pistol ammo

[Bill Grist]

A while back a member asked if anyone had any picts of Russian 16 round 7.62 pistol ammo packets, no one posted a picture.. While digging around upstairs today, I found some so here they are..Enjoy BILL

Bill, Thanks for posting. Forgive my ignorance, but is this the round the Russians used in the PP SH machine pistol? A good friend of mine told me that this was a very "hot" pistol round, much more powerful than 9mm. Could someone post a pic of one of these rounds?

Hope to see you at the SOS,
John

[Bill Grist]

JohnB, Yes this is the same round used in the PPSH41, PPD40 and the PPS43 Russian Sub-machine guns I'll post some loose rounds in the AM for you..It is exactly the same as the 7.63 MAUSER BROOMHANDLE round, around 1410 feet per second...BILL

Ronnie, Is 100% correct do not use Russian 7.62 pistol ammo in Mauser BroomHandles, it is to hot of a load for the Mauser pistol..BILL

16

They are 16 rounds per packet stacked side by side, one round up and one round down.. They came in a sealed zinc box of 50 16 round packets for a total of 800 rounds per zinc tin.. I have the zinc box around here some where and will take a pict of it when it surfaces, the box has the Russian writing on it for 7.62 pistol ammo and the arsenal of manuf...... BILL

I know a lot of people who use commercial(S&B) 7.62 x 25 in their broomhandles, but never the surplus stuff. Much too hot as most of it is Subgun ammo.

[Viktor]

These "boxes" of 7.62mmX 25mm are they paper folded to hold the rounds or are they cardboard boxes ? , also what are the dimensions in all 3 planes ?, thanks for your time and trouble, you have helped me so much so far and I thank you all very much .

The 7.62x25 surplus rounds seem to work well in the surplus Czech. M-52 pistols out on the market. Excellent penetration, but a bit of a bark I am told.

Hi!
I have three of theese rounds.
One is marked 8 [star] 45
Second: | 53 bxn
Third: 54 bxn (this one is green)
Thie first one is Soviet-made and no.2 and 3 are postwar Czechoslovak?

[Daithi Stewart]

they were also used in the Tokerov-33, MN Revolver, Makarov and nearly every other Soviet-era pistol

[mietek]

Makarow is 9mm, same as most other comunist block pistols.
As I know only TT use 7,62 (except SMG of course)
