5.7x28 What's it good for?

[GeorgeS]

The 5.7x28 is ballistically similar to the .22 Hornet or the .22TCM.

It works great on racoons in the tower blind. Buddy was checking the blind in late Sept, climbed the ladder, peaked in, racoon nest, with mamma hissing, he jumped down grabbed the P90 off the ATV and emptied the magazine into the bottom. It worked. It also improved the air flow in the tower stand

Is it weird that I heard banjos when I read this? Electric, distorted dubstep banjos, but banjos nonetheless

I love a good story with a happy ending.

I absolutely hate trash pandas.

Did someone say banjos?

And there was a full propane ( little green) bottle that went nuts went he ventilated the bottom of it. If ya did not hear them before, there's your banjos.

Evewryone I knew who fought in Korea thought the .30 carbine round was worthless.

With the chicoms all high on opium in the cotton battening winter gear on wrapped in chicken wire it took more than carbine rounds.

I would have "dum-dum'ed" the bullets, myself.

Wouldn't have done you any good, and carbines don't take to a steady diet of soft points well.

Now if you were to bump up your ammo an extra 800-900 FPS...

I Don't want to come off disrespectful to the deceased, but if you look at the Fort Hood shooting, the shooter killed 13 and wounded 30 with a 5.7 pistol. Check me if I'm wrong, but I don't think your getting those numbers with a .22lr. The 5.7 is most definitely a lethal round.

What I was going to say as well, as respectfully as I could. I’ve got the Ruger 57. It LOVES the FN ammo, NOT the AE ammo.

One benefit is you can use a .22 suppressor.

Not all suppressors, and with a .22lr can, it won't sound good, you really want a short 5.56 suppressor

I've got a Ruger 57 It's a nice shooting gun, but not very concealable or carry practical for me.
My wife loves to shoot it since it's got little recoil.
It's expensive to feed though. Not 50BMG expensive, but not 9mm cheap either.

Absolutely nothin'...sorry, thought of the Motown hit.

I don't have any interest in it, but they are selling from what I can see.

 

[Fletcherjl]

Doesn't appeal to me but it definitely has some range advantages. I don't shoot handguns that far so I don't care but I could see it loaded with vmax being a decent racoon getter. The price with have have me sticking to 22 mag for the things I would use the 5.7 for.

 

[studenygreg]

I would be curious to shoot an sbr suppressed and compare it to 556

For me, since the SS190 was banned, my 5.7 pistol is just a tool to test my hand loads.

For civilian use, IMO teats on a boar hog.
