5mm Remington Magnum Back in Production

[Bozz10mm]

I don't know of anyone who owns a 5mm Rem Mag. Heck, I've never even heard of it. But there might be someone here who has one.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 17th, 2018

THE WAIT IS OVER FOR AGUILA AMMUNITION 5MM LIMITED PRODUCTION NOW RUNNING

CONROE, TEXAS- December 17th, 2018

Aguila Ammunition recently announced that 5mm is now running limited production
The highly demanded round has been absent from the marketplace for several years.

Our customers have been asking, and patiently waiting for our 5mm to return to the market since our initial run in 2008,

We’ve been working with our manufacturing facility to bring this round back to the states for the past two years and are happy to announce we've made it happen.

The new 5mm is a 30 grain, semi-jacketed hollow point with a 2200 FPS and will meet Aguila Prime standards. The product will also feature the new Aguila rimfire packaging and will be available at an MSRP of $29.99 per box. Aguila 5mm will be available at retailers and dealers nationwide in January of 2019.

The limited availability of any 5mm caliber ammo has made this a highly sought-after round. Originally created for the 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum, this bottlenecked cartridge has been discontinued by other manufactures since 1982, making it difficult for 5mm rifle owners to shoot their rifles. In 2008, Aguila Ammunition produced a limited run of their 5mm ammo at Tecnos, their manufacturing facility in Cuernavaca, MX. Today, the U.S distributor of Aguila, TxAT, is still manufacturing ammo atTecnos. However, a second production facility is being built near corporate headquarters in Conroe,TX to help increase needed capacity and produce ammunition domestically in
the United States.

Thank you!!
I need some more.

Now find me some .225.


changed "no" to "now"

I remember when that round appeared in the 1970's.
It was the .17HMR of the time.
Back then we did a lot of hunting for fur bearers. It was well liked by the guys who had one but the ammo was expensive and difficult to obtain. So the old .22LR won out.
It's a neat round.
Damn shame the rifles are now nose bleed priced collectables.

Yea, my dad bought me one as a Christmas gift when I was ~12-13.

Had a friend that used his 5mm to shoot rats around his dad's horse barn.
He had installed a 6X Weaver on it.
Maaaaannn we thought that was rad at the time. LoL.
75yds was nothing to pop them.

Does anyone even still produce 5mm firearms?

Not that I know of.

Not that I know of.

Well, if you don't know of any for sale, there must not be any around! Can they be made from another case?

Rimfire.

ETA: A close up of the pic of a box of them indicates rimfire.

I've posted pics of mine in the rimfire thread before.

It’s a cool little round but very few guns left to bother trying to find one. I had one in the 70s. Traded it for a 22 Hornet.
