What is it and does anyone chamber for it?
Not sure. Are you sure in the name? Maybe .22TCM?
No idea. Never heard of it and can't find it online...and my Google-fu is usually pretty strong. Did you see it on a current production firearm? Rimfire or center?
I'm voting for the .220 Swift. But I'm sometimes accused of living in the past.
I would like to hear more about this one! I generally can rattle off random useless knowledge about most any cartridge - but ya got me on this one!Quote:

22 Max Lovell fellas...
It is a 357 max necked down. i heard you could use 222 rem dies to make it.
You probably can. There was a .222 Remington Rimmed, I think, mainly used in Australia. Always sounded like a good cartridge for single shots to me.
There are a lot of wildcats that vary only small amounts but have wildly differing names. Searching for info can be very hit or miss.

Yes there was a 222 rimmed and it was used a lot in this country in Martini Cadets so converted. 222Remington dies are used in the loading of this round, 357 maximum brass can be used to form shells for 222 rimmed but the necks will be a about 1mm to short which is no problem, I have a Martini Cadet action and a take off 223 barrel I am looking at putting together soon. I also have a 6mm barrel that I intend to make a Rimmed 6mm on a Cadet as well, I already have the 30 Max and 357 Max on Cadets. Yes I love single shots, I have 500 pieces of brass and will need to get more as it does get hard to get at times. As an after note I have seen 222 Remington fired in the 222Rimmed chamber with no problems other than extraction with a small screw driver. Regards Stephen
