Default 7.62 x 25 at JG Sales

I just got this catalog from JG Sales in the mail...

Now, before someone speaks up, let me say that I DO NOT recommend anyone firing these in any pistol...as is...

But here in these cartridges we have the raw materials for 7.65 Luger as well as 7.63 Mauser...if you reload...

The bullets are OK, the powder would need to be emptied (and destroyed IMHO) and the cases re-formed...

The re-forming for 7.65 Luger is not at all difficult; trimming the 25mm cases to .849", lubing & running them through a 30 Luger full-length reloading die, then trimming again to .849" works quite well...

Forming for 7.63 Mauser is not required, but running them through the 30 Mauser full length reloading die and checking OAL is always a good idea...

The best part of these cartridges is that the bullets and cases are together and the Wolf cartridges have Boxer [reloadable] primers...the Polish and Romanian probably have Berdan [hard to reload]...and 4 0f the 5 bullets are FMJ...

50 rounds for $20 is the same as I pay for Remington 38 Super, so I think these are a good deal...if you don't mind a little extra work...
