Will add a picture once I can get it uploaded... but I shot a cylinder full this evening... 8 shots standing, in the cold, at 10 paces netted a 2 1/8” group... planning on working on some more 10mm rimmed cases tomorrow at my buddies shop... he keeps his chronograph set up in his shed, so I’ll try to run some of these through it tomorrow...

 had some issues with the revolver ( at chronograph, not really with the revolver ) Tried shooting up some 80's vintage Velo-dog ammo to get the cases... amazingly the Velo-dog ammo was recording in the low 600's out of my revolver, but the primers were thin, a couple pierced, cylinder locked up... decided to pull the rest down rather than shooting... the 4 grains of AA#7 as pictured above, showed no pressure signs, but only recorded about 1325 fps average of 4, before the batteries died on the Chrongraph ( cold weather ya know... it was sitting outside while we unstuck the cylinder twice, farting around with the Velo-dog ammo ) was hoping for about 1400 fps... will try loading some with H-110 & maybe AA #9 & see if we can get those numbers up a little better... |

I'd be interested to see how a case full of Trail Boss does with one of those Armscor bullets

Here's a quastion. You showed the Leahy holster for carrying on the farm, what's that report like? It never leaves my chore pants ( well except when I change them ) it’s getting “worked” and holding up by well Except I bought a stainless 22 J frame, and that is the gun that has been riding in it, instead of the stainless 22 CCM |

An interesting side bar... my buddy has a couple 22 TCM’s ) semi auto and rifle ) and he has been having trouble with both, bullets not stabilizing... in my group of 8 pictured, one could have been tumbling, and during Chrony, I had one that read 200 FPS slower, even though all the others were identical, or within 5fps spread,,, that one went into the cardboard behind the Chrony sideways... wondering if there is something going on with those TCM bullets maybe why they dumped them so cheap???
Thinking I’ll load 22 Hornet bullets next

My 5.7x28 revolver does fine with the Armscor bullet, even with Trail Boss. I used a 7-twist barrel. This page has some Quick Load data for the 5.7 www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/5-7x28mm-trials-pic-heavy.739404/page-2Note there's long barrel and short barrel data. That might give you something to ponder. Also, 5.7 service pressures are pretty high, so take that into any pondering considerations. |

I loaded a lot of 5-seven over the years one of the 1st... long before the TCM bullets were available... even had a custom contender barrel
The barrel in this revolver is 1 in 12 twist if I remember right, a 22 rim fire magnum blank
