Wow! Overpressure Russian Ammo!

I have read too many horror stories about comercial ammo for the Mauser broomhandle. Unless I can get stuff that is marked specifically for those guns, I stick to my handloads. I have had dealers tell me their ammo marked for Tokarevs was safe but I am too chicken to try it. I purchased a complete Lee turret- head loading press, 500 brass, 500 bullets, primers, and powder for the price of 500 rounds. A nice mild load in an old gun and I feel quite safe. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
