    Brice,
    While I don't speak 5 seven, i do speak 22 tcm.
    I know that bullet selection as far as ogive length is a consideration. And the short hornet bullets were what it was designed around. (the tcm9r) had bullets seated deeper in the case and a coal of a 9 mm, for some conversions, where the tcm had a coal of a 38 super.
    I think the 5 seven can use better bc boolits than the round nose hornets that the tcm uses. But I haven't experimented. That's what the 35 vmax were for. The cases are diffrent dimensions and shoulder angles between tcm and 5 seven


    I haven't got around to playing with it other than once.
    It is a shortened 223 case that sizes more like a pistol case than a rifle case, meaning at the very bottom of the stroke.
    I'd like to try 35 vmax in it to see what it would do. Powder selection on it was h110, but aa has some tcm powder. As well.
    That's as close to the 5 seven as I got, the poor man's version 22tcm. The cost for admission for me was less..
