I haven't read any of the info on the tokerev Ammo on the site

I do ageee 100% with misinformation being recirculated on the internet and also in gun books etc. I see it all the time.

I did do my own tests with various tokerev ammo and new 30 Mauser ammo from fiochhi and PPU. I tested all the rounds in a tokerev pistol to insure uniformity of the chrony data.

Here is what I found.

PPU 30 Mauser. Avg velocity 1320 fps

Tokerev white box avg velocity 1458 avg velocity, es was 150 fps

Tokerev brown box avg vel 1472. Es was 400 fps. Yes, crappy QC on powder drops for sure

Of course I need to supply the white and brown box makers and I will. Both were surplus and corrosive. I can't find the fiochhi data at the moment.

I'm using 8.0 grains of blue dot with a 67 grain Bullet = 1320 fps. The astra won't cycle with that load so it gets 9.0 grains with an eighty five grain bullet. Runs great but no chrony data. I use quickload and the pressures were still Low in that range.
