Anyone have any experience with this little round? With the popularity of the 17HMR and 204 Ruger, how about a dainty bolt action in the 5.7x28? Are there rifles out for this caliber?

Sorry, Nortman, but the 5.7x28 uses a ~30 grain bullet @ 2000 fps. The entire cartridge weighs 96 grains. "The current ball load for the US civilian market, loaded to over 2,125 fps, is the SS192. A sample round weighed 95.8 grains, with an empty, unprimed case weighing 58.1 grains, and the bullet having a weight of 27.6 grains." http://www.gunweek.com/2005/feature0110.html
