Looking for reload data (yours or source) for the 7.63x25 .....I have a bunch of accurate #2 and #7 so hope someone has that. Want to load mild rounds and will replace the bolt stop with new for that.

Got this today and just very pleased...got it from Simpsons, not cheap but you know what you are getting. Chatted with Leroy about this pistol and he went over it with me and answered my query's....
1911/1915 year group (too bad the records were destroyed in WW2) and in amazing condition. The bore is very good plus...excellent in my eval. Everything on this C 96 is tight as a drum and the only spring I changed out was the firing pin. The others were more robust than the Wolf spring new ones.
All numbers match to include the grips. 98% original blue. There are no import markings. The only non original piece is the lanyard ring that was removed at some point...replaced with a key ring lol.
Whoever had this stored it and rarely shot the piece. I will shoot it after making some milder reloads and will use a replacement bolt stop (new) when I do.

I will have to go with .308 as the bore is so unused...I tried the muzzle depth with both 86 gn .308 and the XTP .309 and the .308 is just right.
