I finally rolled the dice on a 22 tcm rifle. I would like to report a few things. Light strikes are caused from gummy oil in bolt. I disassembled and cleaned and polished it and lightly reoiled the bolt which seems to have taken care of the light primer strikes.
Using factory ammo 40gr I was getting under minute of angle at 100yds. So I’m happy with that. It’s cold out so I wasn’t shoot great being my hands were so cold.

I read people were saying the ammo primers were to strong so it wouldn’t fire. Nope it’s the gun oil and burrs on the bolt. I reshot the light strike rounds from the other day no issues.

I liked the 22 hornet but the only good one I had was a cz. I’ve owned 4 hornets and they sucked. Hoping the tcm will refill that niche.

Everything I read about these is they are a pain in the butt and I believe it but I love a challenge. Next is to reload for this thing. Lmao stupid rabbit hole
 
I think it'd be a fun cartridge to shoot. What model of rifle did you get the wood stock or the "tactical" version? I'd like to get one someday. I think it'd be pretty handy for varmints and close range predators.
 
I got the tactical. I’ve been looking for dies. The pickings are slim and better dies are costly. I’m leaning to the hornady dies being Redding has lost there minds on the price.
