I have a CZ 52 chambered in 7.62x25 and I wanted to know if anyone has used this round for hunting if so what did you hunt and at what range.Also any other information about this round or handgun would be greatly appreciated

I have never used this cartridge but will be very interested in your results and those of other contributors. With an 85- to 90-grain bullet at just short of 1400 fps the .30 Luger, .30 Mauser and 7.62mm X 25 all compare favorably with the .32 H&R Magnum. The .32 H&R Magnum performs very well on critters with these bullet weights and at about 1250 fps velocity. The only problem I have with the cartridges is I do not enjoy crawling around in the dirt to pick up my empties.

I wish I had the specs for equivalents to the original Czech loads for the CZ-52 pistol. I had some Chech ammo for mine, but it was such a kick in the pants to shoot that I shot it all up. I have read that the CZ-52 was designed to regularly digest the submachine gun rated loads in 7.62 X 25. I can't cite a source for that info, but believe it's accurate.

I will say this -- the CZ-52 will reliably cycle loads in a very wide range of energy. Stay safe -- and enjoy.

I've encountered some claims that the CZ-52 was not in fact rated for submachine gun ammo and that there have been detonations of this pistol here in the US when fired with those hot loads. I don't have the time to look for definitive answers right now, but my earlier post may have been wrong. If I get some hard facts before someone else does I'll post them. I have fired somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 rounds of Czech ammo through a single CZ-52 without damage or notable wear. It was clearly a hotter load than Sellier & Bellot, Olin/Winchester, or the Bulgarian ammo I have. More than that I cannot say for certain.
