I'm currently a Class B with a TT rating of 2100. I would like to aim to become a 2100 with norm of Candidate Master. What tactic rating does a CM usually have? How strong are Expert class chess players in tactical calculation?

  • With tactical ability of your caliber I think you should focus on other things

    @Jimmy360 What would you recommend that user122965 focus on? (I ask because I'm not a good enough player to suggest anything, but figure that (s)he and/or others might benefit from explicit thoughts on the matter.) Commented Jul 15, 2016 at 18:09

  • I hardly see masters on SE. Might get a good answer from /r/chess.

  • I'm 1900 TT on chess.com and my OTB is 1920. So it's surprising your tactics are that good and you aren't higher rated. I agree with others. Work on other things.

While you cannot get to Candidate Master on tactics alone, most Candidate Masters have much higher tactics trainers ratings than you do. For example, Candidate Master Mago has a TT rating of 2602. While you should continue on your TT journey, you should also study master games, endgames, and positional play.
