Hornady ® Subsonic Ammunition doesn’t have the loud report of a supersonic round.

The XTP ® bullet in Subsonic Handgun has built a world-class reputation for accuracy and stopping power.

Performance of 300 Blackout Subsonic meets or exceeds FBI Protocol terminal ballistic test requirements.

Powders are selected for optimal performance and consistency from lot to lot. Long grooves in its gilding metal jacket combine with the bullet’s flat profile and the patented Flex Tip® insert within its hollowpoint cavity to help it expand reliably at low velocities. Subsonic Handgun utilizes tried-and-true XTP® bullets that expand reliably at subsonic velocities. I did order a grooveless mold, that will probably show up one day.Hornady® Subsonic Ammunition - designed for accuracy and performance below the speed of sound - now comes in handgun loads. Unfortunately, I haven't found a suitable bullet in the 115gr range. So, I'd recommend 90-110gr weight bullets, and try for 1000-1100FPS range, but even heavier subs would be amazing.

It's a fantastic caliber, and I expect that the Luger is a lower pressure version of the same. 150gr subsonic rounds are also quite accurate, and feed well to boot, but could use a powder bump as well. I've even single loaded bullets up to 180gr in the PPS-4C, and found the cases to be a little sooty, which suggests I need to increase the charge. Power Pistol is wonderful in all handguns. The necks are so short, and the cases are so small that the grooves limit where you can seat, as well as case capacity with heavier pills. Casted bullets for 32s can easily be sized down as well. Berry's 110gr plated bullets are intended for the M1 Carbine, but work well for Tokarev plinking. You should do well with almost any bullet that feeds. You can likely use Tokarev brass, if you're short.Īs far as trimming goes, trim it if it gets too long, like anything, but I doubt it'll grow too much.įor bullet selection, I'd slug the bore and match the groove diameter or go 1 thousandth over it.

I'm guessing ~4.5gr behind the same bullet would be a safe start, and that your only looking for ~1100FPS max, rather than the Tokarev's 1300+. I typically use about 7gr of Alliant Power Pistol behind the 90gr XTP ~1.3' OAL in Tokarevs. You could use greatly reduced loads for the Tokarev. Most Mausers will fire the Tokarev cartridge, but it will quickly wear or break parts. I too do a lot of loading for Tokarevs, which is a much hotter round. A small dose of red dot could work with that. I had to pish them too fast for their own good to get reliable cycling - about 1450 fps with copper fouling, but you may be able to load them to 1250fps or so. Problem may be the case neck ends up too swollen to chamberwith the slightly oversize bullet- the tok is pretty generously oversized. 312 71gr Berrys roundnose in the tok, which might be perfect for you, so long as they chamber ok.

I have just enough 'crimp' to remove any flare from the case mouth, and then crimp with a seperate lee FCD which is like a rifle crimp die. Otherwise the die and collet dont care what case length you have, and the quick trim cutter doesnt care what diameter case mouth you have.Īlso be aware, when seating bullets the case shoulders crush really easily. Youd be looking at about 3mm worth of spacers i guess, or 1/8' in the old money. To trim brass i used the Lee quick trim 9mm dies and made up 6mm worth of spacers to get the trim length out to where i need it for the tok.
