Thread: .22TCM Micro Varmint rifle build

While .17 cals have never been my thing and Id be the last guy to defend their performance, you did prompt me to document the lack of barrel heat I had noted in my TCM that Id forgotten to mention..
The round count in my Shilen is now 80 rounds and I have two very good loads sorted also tested 5 powders 4 bullets and 4 primers. (not all of which I documented)
While that is at the higher end of "normal" round count for developing a load, bare in mind there is very little info out there in regards to shooting this pistol round in a rifle with varmint projectiles.
This was always going to be a experimental toy for me and now I have good reliable safe loads that cycle reliably, Ill continue to dabble with heavier projectiles etc while putting it to use on the bunnies in my spare time.
Hopefully this write up will save others who load this cal a lot of time and resources setting up their own TCM rifle.
