I packed away my new case of 7.62x25 ammunition for my TT-33 the other day and realized I have sooo much of the stuff that it'll take me many years to go through it all.

Are there any kits or other weirdo things I can do with this stuff other than shoot it in my Tokarev?

Just curious if someone makes a conversion kit for an AR or something else.
 
I heard about conversions made on M1 Carbine.
AR kit would be nice.
Or even a bolt action. It is a good cartridge
Other than that, in other countries some people convert AK's and Krinkovs to take PPSh drums (7.62x25). You can have in Canada a PPSh drum pinned to 5, but that's about it. No AK for you.
I would like even a bolt action. Powerfull and VERY cocky that 7.62x25.


Too fukken bad there are not so many choices out here, because that's one of the finnest HG cartridge.




1.Hang on to it.
2.Sell it.
3.Shoot it. Practice. Master that HG.


One of the above.
 
I also have about that much lying around for my Tok but I will be buying another case.You never know when this wont be available for awhile so stock up.
 
If you go to the range and shoot 100 rounds , you can only go to the range 20 times and then it is all gone. You don't have enough ammo, yet.

I'm not sure whether it was mythbuster's, box o'truth or somebody else that found bullets cooking off in a fire would do very little damage, as the pressure would burst the shell casing before imparting enough energy to accelerate the bullet to dangerous velocity. the shell casing actually went further than thebullet.

Ya, and the burst shell is a jagged piece of steel. Not a very good idea. Much akin to filling a soda can with Oxy/Acetelene and lighting it. May not go as a projectile, but the shrapnel is sharp and moving quick.

I've never tried it or seen it done. I usually just roast marshmallows over the campfire.:)
 
I used to work at the CIL ammo plant in Bronsburg, Quebec. We burned ammo all the time is steel drums. It cooked off and sounded like pop corn. Only very seldom did a piece of brass fly out of the can. The bullet stayed in the neck. the case would split in the side.

broke my heart to dump boxes and boxes of ammo in the fire because the headstamp was wrong, or too faint, etc.

Read the grand daddy of gun myth busting: Julian Hatcher. He went there and did that decades ago. When it comes to every possible facet of fire arms and ammunition experimentation, Julian Hatcher tried and documented it.

I work with a guy who now only sees through one eye because some idiot threw some ammo into a fire. That's all the "mythbusting" I need!

I dispose of my "Oops" loads in a bonfire when I have a bag full of them. Eye pro ON and three rounds at a time. Hear 3 pops and then do it again. Occasionally I see a puff of ash come out of the fire, otherwise, Jack.
 
I have no doubt an injury can occur, however all the rounds I have seen thrown in campfires, from .22 to 12 gauge, just go "phoof". I still put on my sunglasses or avert my eyes. Then I tell the idiot to stop throwing ammo in the fire.
