    22 tcm

    I'm sure this has been discussed but I'm just terrible at finding articles in the forums so feel free to point me in the right direction.

    I've come into a 22 TCM rifle. I received two boxes of ammo along with dies for a steal of a price.

    So I'll shoot the factory ammo of course and reload it but I plan on cutting down 223 cases as I have a good supply.

    Here's the question(s): Do you have to inside ream the neck after forming? Do you have to turn the outside of the neck also?

    Thanks
    If your mind goes blank don't forget to turn off the sound!

    According to Wikipedia, the case is 1.025" long, so the neck will be formed from the middle of the .223 case body.

    I am going to say yes, you will have to either inside ream or outside turn. Reaming will probably yield a better looking case.
