Does anyone have experience loading 22TCM with Hornady dies on a Lee Load Master press.
Pitfalls or other issues? Any info would be appreciated.


UPDATE: found Lee dies available ... no longer contemplating Hornady. Thanks for the responses.

I have a set but I do it on a dillon 550
you need to make sure you expand the neck of the case enough so the bullet or boolit doesn't crush it.

Not on Lee, I have A 650xl. Just started Loading for the 22tcm. I had to read instructions a couple of times to understand how to set up the expander. The tip goes in all the way to the top. Only a slight adjustment to get the expansion for bullet. The one thing I've read and IS needed is to insure that you are sizing any new brass. I have just worked up initial ladder loads and waiting for a chance to get to the range.

Oh and make sure before you load a bunch is to do a plunk test.
