For those of you using these cartridges (I use both)

While researching the question of Luger recoil springs at the Wolff Gunspring site I came across mention of neck seperations when using hot loaded 7.63 Mauser cartridges in a Tokarov chamber.

This surprised me as I would have assumed the Mauser cartridge would just fire form to the Tokarov chamber.

The shoulder is a bit further forward on the Tokarov for a greater headspace while the neck is shorter than the Mauser.
