Cast 32acp bul. in Maus.96 & Tokarev - The Firearms Forum

I have both a Broomhandle Mauser 7.63 and Tokarev 7.62 pistol and a few boxes of comm. 7.63 cases. In the past I had loaded these with Hornady 100gr. half jacket bullets and they worked fine in both guns. I recently got a bunch of cast .32acp bullets (.311) 76gr. Can I load these bullets in the Mauser and Tokarev?

It should not hurt anything to use slightly oversize cast bullets in your guns. If the correct jacketed bullet is a 308, the correct cast bullet should be a 309, and .002 ain't gonna hurt anything.
