5mm Remington Magnum Revived

[mthom1957]

Does anyone out there remember the excellant 5mm Remington Magnum cartridge of the 1970's? It seems Aquila has decided to produce new 5mm ammo loaded with a 30 gr. bullet with plans to expand the load selection in the near future. With the popularity of the new 17 rimfires this could open the way for new rifles chambered for the old 5mm, for there were only two rifles by Remington ever chambered for this round the models 591 and 592.

I understand it's actually made in the old factory where Remington made theirs.
