To 22 TCM? I have a spare 14" 22 LR barrel and want to rechamber it to 22 WMR or 22 TCM to go with a companion autoloader of the same caliber.

the people that developed it and nobody else is allowed to make reamers for it or chamber them. Just like our GNR cartridges or J.D.Jones SSK cartridges.
Ok so I will send it in for 22 WMR rechambering

Then. I have my Automag II in 22 WMR.
You ever look at the .38 Super for a base?

was real hard to find. I think we called it the 32 Super or something like that. I have the first rough pieces of brass on my bench at home. It might be worth taking a good look at it again.Thanks for the reminder.
A neat idea for the small frame conversions

Sort of a re-thought 7.62x25 with a rim and straight sides. It sounds like it would be a barn burner and well suited to the SA. Roman has a cobby China Tokarev and it punts out a 90 gr. bullet at over 1500 fps! It really is impressive and a sleeper. I'd like to begin loading for it. Would be fun to run a .38 Super in a FL die and see what it looked like. Might be too big around.
