    7.62x25 headstamp id

    I have some 7.62x25 ammo I need to identify. The headstamp is: A star at 12 o'clock, a 10 at 3 o'clock, a 3 at 9 o'clock and either a 53 or 63 at 6 o'clock. What do I have. Thanks.

    Maybe Czechicon? 6-pointed star?

    Is it true steel core?

    No, I don't believe Bulgaria produced any steel core Tokarev ammo. It has a lead core with a gilding-metal clad steel jacket.
