Romanian 7.62x25

I just want to check and make sure that this is OK to fire out of a CZ-52. Im gonna be picking one up and just want to be sure.

Im also going to be picking up a couple cases of romy x25 so want to make sure it's compatible.

thanks

Ok for CZ 52 for sure..but some have a problem with rounds that fail to chamber all the way. You can feel a Burr at the case mouth on this ammo. I guess the machine that trims the case to length does not chamfer off the burr at the mouth of the case. If your chamber is 'minimum' this burr prevents the slide from closing all the way.

I get one such round per mag in my pistol. I got a lee Factory Crimp die which will 'turn in' this burr quite nicely. I run all my Romanian 7.62x25mm through this die and all now chamber slick and easy.

May not be a problem for all....but several have reported the same issue.

What kind of tools do I need for a factory crimp die to turn this burr down?

Im looking at buying up to 12k rounds of this stuff, mainly for an ak chambered in it, but will be running alot through a cz-52 also.

Im looking at getting a RCBS press here in the future can I get something similar to your lee die?

thanks

Lee factory crimp die in 7.62x25mm will work in your RCBS press or any reloading press that takes standard reloading dies.

You may not need it at all.....but if you do need it..it WORKS!

+1 great dies, and relatively cheap around $25 IIRC...
