7.63x25 Question

Can anyone tell me what handguns use this round? It is between a .303 and a .22 round so you can judge the size.
7.63x25

CZ52 and TT33, both are C&R eligble. There are also a couple old soviet sub-guns that sed the same round.

If it is 7.63 then it would be .30 mauser for the Borchardt auto and Broomhandle Mauser pistols...
(Looks Identical to the Russian Tokarev round)

7.63x25 is the correct round for the Broomhandle Mauser.
Its also called 7.63 Mauser.

You should not confuse 7.62x25 Tokerev with this round.
7.62 Tokerev can be loaded too hot to use in the Broomhandle Mauser.
Also 7.62x23 Luger should not be used in Broomhandle Mausers.
7.62 Luger will not headspace correctly and both may cause failure of the Broomhandle Mauser.

Ok so used in:
Borchardt Auto Pistol
Mauser Broomhandle Pistol


Any others anyone can think of?
