Should the 5mm RMR be brought back to life?

Given the existence of the 22 WMR and the 17 HMR, is there a place for the 5mm to make a comeback?



With the commercialization of the 5mm bore and projectiles (204 Ruger) - maybe now is the time for a 20 cal rimfire. It could be loaded with a 32 grain poly-tipped VMAX to around 2400 FPS, and bridge the gap between the ft.lbs of the WMR and the trajectory of the HMR. I'd buy one.

And Aguila's bringing it back, I think...

Always room for this one. There are quite a few of those Remington 591's and 592's still around. This will bring them back to useful status. Regards, Eagleye

Hey!! Right on!! I have one of those babies, purchased way back when. I would love to be able to shoot mine again. It is a clip - yes CLIP - model.
