gas575.7x28?
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?

NortmanLook here: I ask a question about it..
http://www.saubier.com/forum.htmlThere are some vildcats. Imagine when it shoots 98 grain bullets at 2050fps.. what will it do with a 20-50 grain bullet.

nordrsetaSorry, 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."
