    Yes, not here (SA) yet, but they will be, and for those who have a use for them (I don't, frankly) they will soon enough be making others jealous. Within its' spectrum of effectiveness this is a no BS little cartridge.

    I actually shot a friend's TC before I got my own one, so I guess it was before 2007.

    Single shot handgun -- not the kind of thing that turns most of you guys on :-)

    I've actually noticed a good few of the Yanks are purchasing the "handi" rifle in the 300 BLK. It's the single shot break neck that works just like the TC. TBH if it wasn't for the licence requirements, I'd have one.

    What are the ballistics like out of the TC, WRM? I assume it's a fun gun to shoot.

    I'm converting it to a standing gun, very mellow to shoot.

    Excuse the ignorance... but what is a "standing gun"?

    Silhouette. Four big bore events, being production unlimited standing and revolver. Production, unlimited and revolver you shoot from the most stable position you can get, which for most people is creedmore. Standing... you have to shoot standing.

    You can of course shoot all four events with a revolver, but you'd never be competitive. Also you can shoot production and unlimited with the same gun, but unlimited allows you a longer barrel (which doesn't make a difference, except it gives you a longer sight radius, and that makes a difference).

    For all of this you need to knock over the 20kg ram at 200m. You know what a 357 magnum does to a ram at 200m? Makes a sound like *plink*... so you need something with vooma.

    Then there's field pistol, where the targets are smaller and closer. Also shot standing. But there 223 or even 22 Hornet or better 270 Ren is a viable cartridge.

    And the reason a standing gun is different from a production gun is that the sights are closer to your face so the slot needs to be narrower. And you can move the sights up a bit to get your hand around the gun to hold it... silhouettes is fun :-)
