Great rifle in a good little caliber. Ammo is expensive though.

I know what it says but you can go ahead and shoot Centurion 5mm Rimfire Magnum in it
BTW, this is a great caliber but it was introduced before it's time.

Don't loose that *******' magazine... it's worth more than the rifle!
The 5mm Remington is a cool little round. I first saw one when my old man brought it home about a thousand years ago... It was hell on crows. I saw him absolutely Ker-SPLODE one across a corn field. Raven-Grenade!

Good thing I'm not a betting man. When the .17 Rimfire/Rimfire Mag fad started , I woulda bet the farm that those pipsqueak rounds was gonna be as obsolete just as fast as the 5mm Remington was.

Some of those are converted to center fire to avoid the ammo problems.
The 5mmCraig was one of the first IIRC but it requires lathe turned brass cases. Just a center fire version of the orig 5mmRF.
Some use a 20cal wildcat based on the Hornet case.
Strong little actions,,

Yup I did... for a while. May have had it at one of the shoots. I shot up all the ammo and then moved it along...
