Does anyone make 5 mm ammo? If not what happens when you shoot
all of what you got?(besides being s.o.l) ? I do not own one but
someone I know does and love's that gun. Thanks

5mm ammo is not made anymore :cry: .When you do find it it cost anywhere from $45.00-$75.00 a box :shock: .I keep hearing that Old Western Scrounger is going to make it.I will belive this when I have a new box in by hands.I've been hearing this for the last 5 years.On one of the auction sites they were auctioning 20 boxes of 5mm ammo.The last bid was $1000.00 for the lot.$50.00 a box. :roll: When your at a gun show and you see it cheep,buy it.

If you find 5MM Rem. Mag. cheap at a gun show,
Go Buy some Lottery tickets afterwards!
For thou art indeed a Lucky person!

I wish CCI would create some like they have the
.22 WRF!
The 5mm mag was a great cartridge. I really don't know why
it didn't catch on. Although I seem to be lucky when it comes
to buying things that don't catch on! Example: Did you ever see
a DAISY VL (fires .22 Cal. Caseless ammo)! Fortunatly
I still have several hundred rounds of that stuff!

Here's an idea for you.
Convert to 5mm Craig which is a centrefire version of the 5mm RF.

I have a 5mm RF barrel just waiting for a project.

Shoot! I was just about to mention the Craig, but you beat me to it.
