Sounds interesting. I heard that handloading that little cartridge is a bit of a pain and ammo isn't as cheap as .22. But it could be a fun plinker. You could probably get away with a short barrel aswell.

I have read somewhere about it being done. Had the pistol, sold it, and now i need to replace it.

Re: fn 5.7
ya i was thinking a short light barrel. i want to keep it as light as possible so that it is easy to carry. thought it would be good for small varimets. just didnt know if anyone had done it. if it would be a very good round in a rifle.

Re: fn 5.7
Personally I would just chamber a .223 Rem..compare the bullets and brass with respects to cost, avaliability, and performance and it looks like the 5.7x28 is the solution to a problem no-one has.

Agree on that. However, if you are using AP rounds, then it is a whole different beast in close quarter.

I thought that AP rounds were only for sale to LEO/MIL though?

You are correct. However, the original hollow point was quite devastating also. I used to have over 3 thousands rounds of those before I sold all 3 of my 5-7.
