Frontier 30 Carbine 110 RN for Tokarev TT-33

[Wolf]

I am looking for cheap bullets for the Tokarev, Higginson list Frontier 30 Carbine 110 gr for $80.00 for 1000
Has anybody tried these for Tokarev? is it the right size?

I am collecting stuff to start reloading, as seems like there is no surplus ammo anymore, i have brass and primer. Now looking for bullets and dies.
For dies seems like Lee is the only option.

Marstar lists the same bullets and has the diameter at .308.

So i guess .308 should be good to go. Seems like i should give it try, if it does not work well i can always buy something that will use thsi bullet

Before shelling out $80 plus shipping for 1000, why not buy a small box of 110gr bullets from speer/ hornady/ sierra to make sure your Tokarev likes .308 dia bullets. IIRC, they were set up to use .310

 

[Wolf]

That is very useful info, i did not know they are setup for .310
May be i should slug the barrel.

Wolf, you might also try the Bullet barn. They have a 96 grain RNFP FB that comes in .313 but that I get sized to .309 (they didn't have a .310 sizer) and that seems to work well in my Norc. They feed well and shoot well in my gun.

No one concerned about the bullet weight? Iirc normal bullet weight is 85-86 grains with a max of about 90.

TT33 bullet dia.= .308. The 30 carbine bullets will work but they are longer and heavier so the oal. and load must be adjusted.

110 grain is used by plenty of people down south from what I have read.

Here is the load data for 110 grain:

My concern was not bullet weight, it was the bullet diameter, as the frontier bullets it plated, so wanted to make sure it is the right size.
