PPU 7.62 Tokarev Cartridges Disassembled

Those specs for the PPU .30 Mauser seem way over the top....I've fired it thru my Broom and it's actually mild shooting....I've got some Bulgarian Tokarev that I chrono'ed doing 1560fps out of my CZ52 that seems WAY hotter. I think the Lyman load is very conservative.....over the years I've always read that original .30 Mauser ran between 1300-1400 fps
