It's been a very long time since I've used AA #7 in my Mauser and Tokarev.... or anything else for that matter. I've looked but can't find my data. Sorry.

However, I did check the newest edition of the Sierra loading manual and they list the 85 grain bullet with a starting load of 8.5 grains of AA #7 for 1250 fps from a Vz-52 Czech pistol. The max load was 10.0 grains for 1500 fps.

I personally would NOT start with 8.5 grains for a Broomhandle. I'd try 7.0 grains first and work up if need be. The Vz-52 is a stronger action as I'm sure you know.
