Rugers new 5.7 carbine

[Kenk]

It?s really to bad the 5.7 x 28 ammo is such a bear to reload., but at .66 cents per rd, it looks like the price has come down a bit. Would have been nice if the design was similar to the old Ruger 44 Carbine brush gun

I wouldn?t say 5.7x28 is all that hard to reload. With the correct sizing die and basic safety precautions it?s not much different than any other bottle neck rifle cartridge. Coating on the case needs to be retained but otherwise pretty straight forward. Many of the 10mm powders are also many of the ones you would use for 5.7. Happy to help if anyone needs tips or advise.

Thanks DoubleA, the coating was my concern

The .22 TCM birthed from a .223 case is much better than the 5.7 round. The .22 TCM rifle is disgustingly in accurate. The 1911 pistols clambered in .22TCM is an amazing round.

Thanks, I have been toying with THE RIA TCM TAC Ultra FS HC as well, just seems like it would be a fun caliber
