All i could locate was Sellier&Bellot FMJ from Natchez

i think Cor Bon has a loading for this as well - their website is in PDF adobe so i avoid it.
and i'm pretty sure Magsafe has a loading for 7.62X25 also

Surplus from Yugoslavia and Romania is easily available right now.

In commercial you can get S&B loaded with 85 grain FMJs, and Wolf Gold in 85 grain FMJs and JHPs. There's a couple of ther small manufacturers/importers making it, too. The muzzle velocity on the Wolf Gold is supposedly 1722 FPS! I'd like to know how long the barrel they tested it in was, but if it's 5" or so like a CZ-52, that's a mean little round!

Anyone know how fast the milsurp stuff is running from a CZ52?   I chrono'd S&B 85(?)gr ball and it was very consistent at 1525-30 fps.

Sportsman's Guide was also selling the surplus. My CZ-52 prefers the S&B new stuff. Hard primers in the surplus stuff meant a lot of it wouldn't fire. Maybe 5%

We produce the widest range of 7.62x25 ammunition, available loads from 60g to 110g, loads for both the CZ-52 and the TT33. Most of our ammunition is for S.D. or hunting applications (SP and HP) and pushed very fast.
