I have a new 5seven fnh pistol that absolutly amazes me the more I shoot it.Awesome on jackrabbits and only yesterday I lazered out a football sized rock at 198yards and drilled it first shot(laugh all you want,it's my story).Anyway I understand it's very picky to reload,stretches shoulders like crazy,but there's dies out there and I was wondering if any of you other Hunting Nuts have experience with this caliber and luck reloading for it.

Welcome to the forums. Howdy

I have heard good things about the 5.7mm that FN is putting out and have thought about using it for rabbits here instead of a 22LR but can't find a carbine style rifle that accepts Five-Seven pistol magazines.

I've read some about the 5.7 x28mm. Its the ballistic equivalent of the .22 Hornet. Should be a fun cartridge for varmints.
