5.7 x 28
« on: February 23, 2008, 12:17:31 PM »
does anyone know anything about this caliber? I've got some info from reloaders nest, but I'm reading all kinds of stuff with no real answers. I've seen several others asking questions too, with no answers. I can't seem to find anyone reloading this. I'm loading 223 and 45acp, so I thought I might be able to use 40 gr Hornady vmax, ex. for rifle and pistol if I decide to pick up a fn57. Any help is appreciated.

thanks

From all that i have seen and read i don't see were it brings anything to the table that the 22 Hornet does not already offer or the 218 Bee for that matter , both can be chambered in a handgun as well as rifles .

It may fill a niche as it is easier to load in semi-auto handguns with its rimless case but that is about all i see  .
