5mm Rem. Rimfire Mag. ammo

Spike · October 6, 2000, 10:47 AM

Came across a Rem. 592 for sale but I understand the ammo is no longer produced. Do you know where I might find ammo, and/or do you know of anyone making dies and brass?

Thanks.

Would it really be practical to reload RIMFIRE ammo????

Would it be practical?

No, probably not.

Would it be safe?

Considering that you have to handle live priming compound, no probably not.

Can it be done?

Yes, but you need a special centrifugal spinner that will distribute the priming around the case head.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.
