RE: .5mm Is Back!
I use to "brag" on the 5mm Rem. Mag some years ago around the net, as i bought a couple of them back in the 70's... (some of those boys on RFC about tarred and feathered me...lol)
I've used the 5mm Rem. Mag.a lot, and it performed much better than a 22lr or mag... BUT, everyone on the forums thought i was full of it, and a nut case for even keeping a 5mm around... As...everyone just knew there would NEVER be any ammo made for them again!
Well, looks like folks are just figureing out now what i found out in the 70's. I'm glad it's back...

5mm is .20" caliber. .5mm is HALF A MILLIMETER. That equals .5 X 1/254 of an inch; or .00196 of an inch! Like I said, big difference! That'd be a pretty tiny bullet!!

This gun was way ahead of its time when it was introduced. Thats why they stopped production on it.

I've heard some pretty dumb chit posted on here... but that is seriously up there near the top. I think a retake of Macroeconomics might be a good late Summer course for you my friend.
