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.
