Their website says their bullets are rated for carbines and magnum loads so i would say they should work fine.

I used them, they are not right shape for 7.62tok or even 30 luger. They more suited for straight wall case than bottle neck. you need to crimp alot the neck to have reliable feeding. However they can be loaded to standard velocity and their weight is pretty consistent.
The plating is surprisingly tough. I have used several thousand of the .308 110grn FCP at over 2000fps with no issues. The best way to avoid issues with any plated bullet is to not overcrimp, just enough to hold the bullet in place.
They are fine. I use them mostly in C96, since the 7.63 ammo is either hard to find or costs too much. But for curiosity, I bumped up the load to cycle TT33, and it works just fine. Same snappy as surplus ammo. I was not load for TT for some time while surplus ammo was same or cheaper than reloading. But in the current situation, I guess it's time.
Do any of you fellas that reload this cartridge, have any numbers for Hodgdon Longshot powder ? I have a couple hundred each, of 85 gn and 110 gn FNJ bullets. I can find a bit of info on loading this cartridge with other powders, but only 1 load with Longshot - 93 gn bullet/8.3 gn of Longshot - and this is a max load, generating 34,000 psi. Extrapolating - I'm thinking around 8 gns, under the 85 gn bullet and 7, under the 110 gn. If someone has some better numbers - I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
