Description
This .22 TCM 9R ammunition goes beyond wildcat trends in order to serve shooters with an affordable load for self-defense. Each of these cartridges is constructed using a properly shaped brass casing that is nickel-plated for corrosion resistance. The sleek nickel material also makes feeding and ejection much smoother for increased dependability. Armscor fits a clean-igniting Boxer primer to the base of the casing and fills it with high-energy propellant. At the top of the round is a 39-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) projectile with a rounded nose that travels up feed ramps and into chambers with no hesitation.
rThe JHP’s open cavity is skinny, but relatively long and takes advantage of the caliber’s inherently high muzzle velocity to expand and fragment the bullet upon impact with a target. This ensures that the bullet’s total momentum is deposited into the target, creating a free-bleeding wound cavity while transferring energy to vital areas. In addition, this effect reduces the chance for errant over-penetration. Armscor is a company from the Philippines that makes low-cost ammunition and firearms at their home facility as well as in their US branch. Armscor is closely related to Rock Island, where the .22 TCM caliber originates, and can be trusted to manufacture this ammunition to proper specification.
