Well my first post got locked before I really heard a definitive answer as to where CZ or Savage are talking about building a new 5MM Remington. Also want to set the record straight..in my last post someone said the 5MM Remington is nothing more than the 22 magnum necked down...not true. The 5MM case is larger in diameter and operates at high pressures than the 22 magnum. Anyway still looking to hear from someone in the know at CZ or Savage...I talked to them both at the shotshow and I was left with the impression they were both seriously looking into it.

    the world has turned upside down since the shot show. with only one manufacturer doing the 5mm trick i can't imagine any maker building a rifle in that caliber again. as much as we would like it i don't see it happening. no i'm not an expert, just have an old 592 with a few shells. you can always change your user name to 17hmr.

    I think Aguila, the brand is Centurion. Search in ammo on this site and you'll find it.

    I have a 592 purchased it in 1975 on sale at Kmart. Just purchased 5mm shells from MidwayUSA for 17.99/box. Taurus is supposed to be making a 5mm revolver model 590.

    If anyone here goes to the Show Show in FL..please ask around and let us know what CZ and Savage say about plans to product a new rifle in 5MM Mag. Thanks!

    I went out to the Range with my old Remington 592 with Nikon 3-9 Prostaff and my new Centurian 5mm ammo. The guy next to me was shooting his Ruger M77/17 in the 17HMR and a 3-12X40 BSA Sweet17 scope. After watching me shoot at 50 yards he asked if I wanted to shoot for a 1.00 a shot total of 10 at 100 yards and tighest group would win the 10.00. He could cover his group with a quarter, while I inner locked all shots and covered it with a dime. I love this stuff. better groups than my old Rem ammo.
