The Power of .22 TCM
The .22 TCM cartridge significantly outperforms .22 LR and .22 Magnum in velocity and impact energy. With a 40-grain bullet, the .22 TCM achieves 2500 fps, shattering a patio block, while .22 LR (1200 fps) only chips it and .22 Magnum (1850 fps) indents it. This demonstrates the .22 TCM's superior ballistic performance for potential self-defense or varmint applications.
