Remington Core-Lokt Tipped Ammo: A Quick Review
Remington's new version of the Core-Lokt Tipped ammunition seems to have breathed new life into this round. The polymer tip helps aerodynamics, adding and retaining velocity, as well as helping expansion. Pick some up. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this ammo.
The .22 TCM is built to move, weighing in at 40 grains and moving at velocities of around 1,850 to 1,900 feet per second when fired from a 5-inch barrel. When you toss the .22 TCM in a rifle-length barrel, the velocity amps up to 2,800 feet per second. That's nuts for such a little round. The .22 TCM joins the ranks of rounds like the .22 Spitfire, the .221 Remington Fireball, and the oft-forgotten .224 Boz. It's light, fast, and hits with a smack.
