Got the ammo in today. It was a beautiful day out so I drove up the road to try the 5.7 out. Dam that thing is FUN! Have to get to range and hang some paper to shoot at. I am going to need more ammo!!!!!

I'd say that depends..... I've done a fair amount of loading for the 5.7. One thing I really don't like is how far forward the shoulder of the case moves when factory ammo is fired. That has to weaken the case head area.
Considering the high pressures it's loaded to, and the very critical nature of the round, I'm not doing it anymore.
BTW, the ammo to get is the 27 gr. stuff. Head and shoulders above the 40 gr. factory ammo. E

I would think reloading that cartridge has to be meticulous.
