    Oh lucky you! I'm still waiting for mine. I was wondering what people would be using that mold for

    I would like to find some one to make a 1:12 barrel to fit a Sig p938 in 22 tcm. that would be an ideal concealed carry

    225107

    Cleaned up the NOE 225107 mold and cast up some boolits before work the other day. What a difference going between the Lee 309-230 and the NOE 225107! Took some getting used to to get those small cavities filled properly but starting to get a handle on it. Soon as Bro gets back from BR shoot will put them through the sizer and GC and load some up.



    L-R: NOE 225107 37gr FNCG, Lyman (?) 55 gr RNGC, Armscor 40gr JFN, Hornady 35gr VMax

    Are you having issues with that mold? My gas check cavities don't fill out well, the plain base seems fine

    This round looks like the perfect candidate for that Hi-Tek coating. I sure do wish I could get a TCM where I live...I'm exempt and can't get anyone to ship one

    At first I had trouble getting the cavities to fill, kinda threw me for a loop. First I tried to pressure pour from right under the pot but that didn't let any gas out. So now I "over pour" to let that bit of gas out and that works. I think if I slow my stream down a bit it might help but I was pouring 230gr boolits at the same time as these. That is a huge mold compared to the cavities and bro said I would never keep it hot enough. I thought NOE might have cut the base down a bit to get rid of some mass and give a shorter path for venting but with such a small boolit, I don't know. I'll keep at it and do what makes boolits.

    Anyone seen anything on making or modifying dies for this?

    my dad bought these off of gunbroker. He paid way too much.
    You can order a set of CH4D dies directly from CH4D and get them in a couple weeks.

    I just purchased 2 sets from CH4D. Give them a call and ask for Beth.

    I just missed it then because she told me this batch is all sold and there wont be any for 6 months. I couldnt talk you into parting with one set of those could I? I just finished a detailed drawing of the case posted here .https://www.dropbox.com/s/tlj1qks06raxx9b/22tcm_prm.pdf

    Does anyone have any specific load data for the 22 TCM? I have read that Lilgun powder is having some success. Would either Bullseye or H 335 be something to experiment with?

    Anyone tried Red Dot yet? That is probably the powder that I have the most of, so I like to use it whenever possible.

    For full power loads I think red dot would be too fast, Might be able to make some nice gallery loads with it though.
    I tried to look it up in Quickloads but the cartridge is not listed.
    I am thinking if one could use a longer OAL one could do some neat stuff with this and the shorter OAL gallery loads would eliminate the need for a 22RF.
