Have some jacketed soft points I got from a friend. I got the feeling they might be a little loose but would really like some defensive loads for my TT-33 and CZ-52. 110 grains I think, any loadings this heavy?

Mike your bullets, slug your bore as to size. A jacketed bullet up to .002" undersize for the bore should still shoot okay. My CZ52 has a .314" groove. I shoot a .3155" 120 grain Lyman 311576 out of it using AA#7. I don't shoot it much, I can't afford all of the brass it throws into next county that I can't find.

Fired in Czech CZ52.
The Chinese have a subsonic 124-gr load, but I don't have any load data on it and the bullet profile is probably not commercially available.
SSK Industries has the 7.62 Micro- and 7.63 Mini-Whisper, both based on the .30 Mauser in the T/C Contender, but the COL's are too much for the Tokarev or CZ52.
