7.62x51 and 6 mm Lee (Remington-Lee) I have heard of but the other two look like work shop "one-off" cartridges. Ivan

5.2mm Mondragon looks like it might be fun to try ... once
I bet the velocity of that animal might cause some temporal distortion if the theory of relativity is correct.

Mondragon sure looks "different" so I did a quick search and velocity is not that impressive - only 2600 ft/s. What's more impressive is that projectile is sitting on a piston ring ! (in your face reloaders )
