Has anyone had any experience with this little cartridge yet? Seems like much ado for somthing so small. Accuracy potential?Can't reload a rimfire, what good is it?Thoughts?

    I've only read the mags. so far alsp. But it would seem that they would've got together w/ Rem. & worked out a deal to bring back the 5mm. Then I could afford to shoot the ammo I have for it...

    That's what I mean, are they so desperate to come up with somthing new that they are feeding us what they want?

    I agree. What's it good for? The ammo will be more expensive than .22 magnum ammo which is already too expensive.It will probably die off very quickly when people start to use it & find out it's not useful for anything other than mice.Why don't the companies use their resources to bring down the price of the .22 magnum ammo? That will make people a LOT happier!!!

    Seems, a better choice would have been the centerfire Hornet and use the "K" shoulder. ?This magnum doesn't make much sense to a farm boy.

    Its something for me to make money on. I will buy a bunch of the ammo and in a few years it will become gold to those who bought the rifles. Think about the Remington 5mm debacle. How much is that ammo now?
