Can you direct me to bullets for the 5.7 FN? The ammo I bought was described as "reloadable" and I have found several sets of dies,but no bullets-I am not looking for armor piercing, just fully enclosed copper for my lead free range.

    GORDETTO,

    Don't let the "5.7" part of the name fool you. This isn't a .23 caliber. This cartridge uses standard .224-inch-diameter bullets, the same as almost all .22 centerfire cartridges. Depending on the twist rate and barrel length the variety is excellent from the diminutive 33 Speer TNT and 35 Hornady VMAX up to 55 grains for standard twists and heavier for faster twists.

    Best.
