    After I size, I hit the mouth with a 19/64 drill bit, but anything close to .300 works. It has to be cleaned up a tad before it can be flared or the flaring die might hang-up on the mouth edge. I don’t flare much at all, just enough to start the bullet.

    7,62x25 and 7,63x25

    Years ago I found and bought 100 rds of yellow box Remington 30 Mauser pistol ammo, later Midway offered 7,62 or 7,63 empty brass too (along with 8mm Nambu). I found the 30 Mauser (7,62x25) in an old sporting goods store. Used 93gr lead bullets, 85 gr jackets and 100 gr half jackets in my Mauser 96 with light loads of Unique.

    There was a popular wildcat 22/7,63x25 cartridge with barrels made for the Czechicon Model 52 pistol some twenty years ago

    Mauser pistol target at 25 meters, should have used the stock

    When I started working with the 7.62x25 I ran the lighter loads through a C96 Mauser. Actually I had two at the time. The lighter loads worked swell, but once I started reaching the higher limits of the Mauser cartridge I used the CZ 52 expressly. I some times think I should of kept those two C96 pistols, but there is only enough room and so much money.
