You referring to the 7.62x25 Tokarev or 7.62x39 Soviet?

The 7.62x25 is a hotter loading of the 7.63 Mauser cartridge for the 1896 Broomhandles. Cases are nearly identical but pressures are not. While I've got incomplete TT33 at home most of my experience was in the PPSh41 SMG. Iraq was awash with those guns early in the war. Czechs did adopt the cz52 pistol in it which was even hotter.

While not as common but not rare the Krink in 7.62mm is found throughout Afghanistan and Iraq.
