PPU Handgun Defense 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammunition (part no. PPD7T) loads an 85-grain jacketed hollow point at 1675 fps, giving Tokarev pistol owners a genuine expanding-bullet option instead of the full metal jacket loads that dominate the cartridge’s ammunition shelf. PPU builds this ammunition on brass cases, non-corrosive primers, and improved bullet designs engineered for greater energy performance, expansion, and reliability compared to older commodity loads. The hollow point geometry is built to open on impact, adding terminal performance the Tokarev cartridge’s velocity alone can not provide. In handgun ammunition for Tokarev-pattern pistols, this is the defensive-minded option in the lineup.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 7.62x25mm Tokarev, a historic Soviet pistol cartridge known for high velocity.

• The hollow-point cavity opens reliably at Tokarev velocities, adding terminal performance over standard FMJ loads.
• Muzzle velocity is rated at 1675 fps, close to the cartridge’s blistering full-power ceiling.
• The cases are brass, standard for reloaders and dependable extraction.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, enough for practice and a working defensive supply.
• The loaded box ships at approximately 1.2688 lbs, typical shipping weight for a 50-round box of 7.62X25 TOKAREV.
• The hollow point cavity is engineered to initiate expansion reliably even at moderate impact velocities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from standard Tokarev ammo? This load uses a jacketed hollow point designed to expand on impact, unlike the full metal jacket ammunition most commonly found for the cartridge.

What is 7.62×25 Tokarev known for? Extremely high velocity for a pistol cartridge, giving it flat trajectory and strong penetration even before factoring in this hollow point’s expansion.
