Hello from a new owner of an old pistol...

I bought a Tokarev from Joe Brooks in Brandon ( I live in Ontario ) and now I'm looking for ammo. The websites that I've tried so far are out of stock. Any recommendations for a source for ammo for my pistol. Who do you know sells the 7.62 x 25 that I need that has a good price and maybe even ships FREE??

Well a guy can dream.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
Happy guy with old pistol.
I ordered from tradexcanada and it's to be shipped tomorrow. Thanks scarred_preacher for your recommendation as well. Maybe we are in the same 'business'?
 
In future, check some of your smaller local gun stores. In Ontario, many carry a limited inventory, sold by box. A bit pricier but good if you don't want to buy by crate. Steel core bullets are apparently capable of penetrating through (damaging) some standard back stops at indoor ranges, so some indoor ranges don't allow them. Another thing that most people don't mention is that when fired, they stink to high haven. You may not be very popular at your indoor range.;)

My Range does not allow steel core ammo, it is hard on the backstop, you can tell right away as it sparks when it contacts the backstop.

If you plan to shoot indoors check with you're club.

Good thing you changed high Heaven to high haven, I'm thinking the Reverend James would be more qualified than you on that issue! Sorry, couldn't resist... :-D

Really! What issue is that? Spelling?

Generally speaking, one way to avoid embarrassing yourself and having to apologize at the end of each comment is to actually resist posting when you are three sheets to the wind. :rolleyes: On the positive side, It looks you are doing OK in your High School spelling class. Good boy.
 
"Steel core projectiles" He meant that the bullet cores are made from mild steel instead of lead. They have a gilding metal jacket, so you can't tell from looking.

Some lead core bullets have a steel jacket, so a magnet does not tell you what the core is made of. A steel core bullet can damage a steel backstop. A steel jacket is ok.

Try cutting a bullet with a sidecutter. You can instantly determine if core is lead or steel.

The part is properly called a "bullet" - not a "projectile". It is not a projectile until in ballistic flight.
 
Hello Friends:

Thank you for the info about 'steel core projectiles.' I will know shortly I hope. UPS is scheduled to deliver my crate today. And I honestly never considered the scent of the round I fired. I may not be popular :)

Thanks again....
