Anybody reload for 5.7x28?

Just courious, I have brass and my son was thinking of getting one yo play with.
I read elsewhere is was different to load for.
 
Have thought about getting one myself. No ammo available, no info I've seen on loading, no supplies available. Just not ready to buy a $669.00 paper weight.
 
I read the factory glues the projetiles in the cases. When resizing it is 5 thousands or an inch small for neck tension
 
I don't, but I've read up on it when an Encore barrel chambered in it came up for sale.

Short version: Be prepared to weigh every charge on a balance scale. It's apparently very unforgiving when it comes to the powder weight.
 
There are also warnings about feed problems if you clean off the outside coating on the brass. I have about 100 range brass I would give someone for shipping costs if anyone is interested and I can find them in my reloading room.
 
You do not want to remove the coating on the cases if you plan on shooting the reloads in a P90 or the AR57 upper that uses the P90 magazines. The coating is needed for reliable feeding in the P90 magazines. And yes the 5.7x28 is very unforgiving on the powder charge. I definitely don't recommend reloading 5.7x28 for the novice reloader.

I suggest you go to the FiveseveN FORUM and read all you can in the reloading section.
