RyM3rC Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, although if you get a hell of a deal on it I would buy it anyway, but I also already have a .22, .22mag, and a 17hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 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] KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
