Overview of 7.63 Mauser Ammo
7.63 Mauser, also called 7.63x25 or 30 Mauser, was designed in 1896 for the Mauser C96 pistol, better known as the Broomhandle. It is a fast, bottlenecked pistol cartridge with a light bullet.
Do not fire 7.62x25 Tokarev ammunition in a Mauser C96. The cases are nearly identical, but Tokarev loads are more powerful and generally not suited to C96 pistols. The milder 7.63 Mauser can be fired in Tokarev-chambered guns. For Tokarev pistols, see our 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo.

More About 7.63 Mauser Ammo
7.63 Mauser was designed in 1896 for the Mauser C96 service pistol. The C96 was one of the first successful semi-automatic pistols, and its distinctive grip earned it the Broomhandle nickname.
The Soviet Union later based its 7.62x25 Tokarev on the Mauser cartridge, keeping nearly the same dimensions but loading it hotter. That shared history is why the two rounds look alike, and why C96 owners should stick with true 7.63 Mauser loads.
