    I am into 5.7 x 28. I will be reloading it and can get the cost down to .39 a round. I plan on plinking with it. And I could carry it using Hornady Critical Defense. I have the PSA Rock which holds 24 rounds and it fits in my pocket.
    Let us know how this works out. Everything I read says reloading is very difficult.

    I don't know what those people's issues are. People are successfully reloading it. I will be one of them and show the finished product.
    Apparently there is a trick to polishing the brass. If you use regular media it won’t cycle. Has to be polish finished. Just what I have heard from some folks that reload it.

    Basically wash with simple green and water agitate by hand and soak no longer than 30 minutes rinse let dry and prep the cases like any other bottle neck cartridge.
