Bullet Casting for the Tokarev

Has anyone experimented with casting bullets for the 7.62x25 Tokarev?

I'd be interested in everyone's thoughts before I give it a try.

Lyman 313249 over about 5 grains Unique works for my Type 54. Start lower, work up slowly, stop when group and function OK.

The Lyman book lists the 313249 :) have you played with Lead Hardness? Are you sizing them?

Thanks for the information :)

Whatever alloy is in the pot seems to work. Sized .311 or .312" - not fussy.

To me, it's just an interesting "plinker". Are you shooting precision matches with yours?

No matches of mankind. The Tokarev's have just become a curiosity to me. I don't really need to reload for them I've got plenty of surplus ammo but I want to see what this pistol is really capable of.
