powders...

I've only used Unique so far so that's all I can talk about.
I do have some IMR SR 4756 at home but I haven't shot that in my Tok yet.
Max loads will vary greatly from powder to powder.

I'd suggest a powder that is economical to shoot, ie. maybe 5-6 grains loads,
not 10 or over. You'll get alot more rounds out of your powder that way. :)

Little secret: 7.63 mauser is perfect for tokarevs. Even though it is 7.63 and not 7.62 the difference in the name only and not in the actual dimensions (there are quite a few rounds which have numerical names with are slightly different from actual dimensions) But the biggest plus is that 7.63 mauser ammo is loaded slightly cooler than CZ ammo, which is the proper loading for TT. Sellier & Bellot is around 1650ft/s and Mauser is 1425ft/s.
