There is supposed to be a shipping container of Bulgarian coming in soon. 7.62x25 is currently dried up in the U.S. Lots of it overseas waiting to come in though.
Thanks I hope you are correct.
Glad I stocked the Romy fodder cheap and deep

I hope you are correct.
Me too...
I've been waiting to buy a TT33 because there just isn't any ammo for it out there. But I wonder if there is a commercial manufacturer gearing up to produce this round in the future?
I hope there is more coming. I bought my TT a few years ago but didn't stock up any surplus for it.... Commercial is available but I've not shot any.
Yeah, I just bought a Ppsh 43 and only have one case of ammo.

Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan, Winchester and Wolf all produce high quality commercial ammo for 7.62x25 Tokarev.
Wolf, which is actually repackaged Prvi Partizan, is the only one that has a hollowpoint that isn't a custom order, but the hollowpoint does very well in ballistics gel according to Brass Fetcher's test. http://www.brassfetcher.com/Wolf%2085gr%20Copper%20JHP.html
The surplus is great, but eventually will go up in price or just run out. The commercial stuff is reloadable boxer primed brass and will provide an excellent source of rounds if this ever happens.
I have heard on good authority that Copes Distributing is getting surplus in soon.
Century Arms just got Bulgarian in for $180.95/800rds.
Century Arms and J&G has had Polish in for a few weeks and actually sold out for a few days but has it back up. It was $178.92/1260rds and now is at $213.57/1260rds.
J&G Sales Still waiting for PW Arms shippment to hit.
Classic Arms 7.62x25 Bulgarian $239.99/1600rds
Price is getting better. I think maybe better is on the way. We'll see. ;)
