Does anyone know headstamp of the Bulgarian over pressured ammo? I pick up a couple of bags of lose ammo most are stamped with a star over 3 10 53 is this stuff safe? There is even 7.63 mauser mixed in, am I correct that .30tok and 7.63mauser are interchangeable? After this I am not buying any more mixed ammo! I saw a webpage somewhere on unsafe tokerev ammo but I cant find it now. thanks in advance:confused:

It has been my experience that Tokarevs can take ammo loaded so hot that the primer falls out. No factory ammo is that hot.

My CZ52s, on the other hand, have very thin chambers and will split with the slightest overload.
