It's a bit more potent than a 22LR, and costs a bunch to shoot. You're looking at $20+ for a box of 50 rounds, which in my opinion is way too much for a plinker.

 

yep.

 

22lr is a fucking hell of a round for the price you pay for it, no reason to move away from it for the price.

I heard once that 5mm was .22 MAG. Anyone know for sure?

 

 

From Wikipedia:

 

The 5 mm Remington Rimfire Magnum is an obsolete bottlenecked rimfire cartridge introduced by Remington Arms Company in 1970. Remington chambered it in a pair of bolt-action rifles, the Model 591 and Model 592, but the round never became very popular, and the rifles were discontinued in 1974. The ammo discontinued in 1982.[2] About 52,000 rifles were sold during its brief production run.[3] As of 2008, Aguila, a Mexican ammunition company, is producing 5mm Remington Magnum ammunition.[4]
