Not sure how valid the warning is about the Bulgarian Tokarev Ammo being dangerous but I had heard that warning more than once.
I ran across this warning again on AmmoGuide which included a Photo of the Box and I believe the Headstamp.
I have not personally used any of this Ammo so I can't speak from experience but thought it was in the best interest of any of our members who may have any of this ammo to make them aware of the reported danger.
With the shortage of 7.62X25 Ammo I have noticed several brands of Ammo being offered on GunBroker and others. (at outrageous prices from six Months Back)
If you should see any Bulgarian offered I would stay away from it. but it's your choice. Like I say I have no personal experience with bad Toke Ammo, with exception to the cracked neck Polish which I shoot with some reluctance. With all the problems with surplus 7.62X25 I've set up my LEE to reload that cal.
In checking Gunbroker I found five seperate Auctions for Bulgarian Ammo.
