    5.7 x 28mm Frustration

    I purchased a Ruger 57 about 14 months ago with the intention of reloading due to the price of the ammo. And being new to reloading didn't heed the advice this cartridge is a PITA to reload. But being this far in I don't want to give up. (Yes I'm living the fallacy of sunk costs.) Using the...

    Keltec P50

    I got the keltec P50 after watching the prices since they came out it and it would appear the price has leveled off after about a year and a half. I took it to the range with 3 full boxes of ss197 and a partial box of old ss195 from back in the day. I loaded up what ss195 I had and started...

    5.7x28mm case question

    I successfully created 5 test rounds that functioned in my Ruger 57. I assembled the rest of my rounds using American Eagle once fired brass. I went to drop it in the ammo checker and over half have some sort of weird ring bulge I didn't notice earlier. This leads me to two questions I'm hoping...

    5.7x28 Alternative Propellants

    I’ve only seen load data for 3 propellants for the 5.7x28; AA5,AA7 and Ramshot True Blue. My hypothesis is, FN struck a compromise for the 5.7 to create a cartridge that would work in both the FiveSeven and P90 and the available loads aren’t optimized for either. Perhaps a better load could be...

    Lee trim die optimization

    I'm attempting to reload the 5.7 x 28mm and got the Lee trim die and power drill cutter. I'm getting inconsistent results in trim length ranging from 1.123" - 1.134". The Lyman 50th reloading manual lists the trim length at 1.130”. I've tried making adjustments with the selector in the cutter...

    Fn fiveseven subsonic

    I bought my fiveseven back in 2007, bought the efk extended 10x1mm barrel back around 2009 waited over a year for it on back order. Started reloading for 5.7 about that time. But the few fiveseven recoil boosted cans available at the time were stupid expensive, more than I paid for the gun. Fast...

    Does anyone have a rifle chambered in 5.7 or 22 tcm?

    I'm curious about center fire rounds that would mimick a 22lr or 22 mag, in my hunt I found savage makes the model 25 chambered in 5.7. Does anyone have any experience with this rifle or experience reloading 5.7? It seems like it would be similar to the 22 mag, just reloadable. I also found RIA...
