Aguila makes great ammo--not the absolute best in my .22 RF's but certainly worth buying. But as I noted, why bother with the 5mm when it costs at least twice the price as either .17 rimfire--before shipping? Have never seen any in a Montana store.
And as I noted, Aguila does NOT make plastic-tipped 5mm ammo--which is one of the reasons the .17 HMR is so effective at longer ranges. Muzzle velocity is not a good indicator anymore.
Am going to check the local farm'n'ranch store for .17 WSM ammo. That's one of my most reliable indicators of the relative popularity of rifle chamberings. If it's not available in that store, then it's a 50-mile round-trip drive to any other store that MIGHT have it, and around 65 miles to one that definitely will.
