Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 5mm Remington Magnum in Action!

They are dwindling here too.

Sounds like a cool project. It’s nice to have options if I can’t find ammo. I hope you get it out and do some shooting with it.

5mm Craig

I managed to get out again and shoot some more groundhogs. The first hog was little and the grass is getting taller again. It is really hard to see when you walk-up on it. It is to the right of the rifle.



Here it is with me standing over it.



Here is a better look at it.



The bullet performed well.



I had one more shot that day and it was a huge groundhog with only its head and shoulders out of a huge hole in the field. I shot and it went down. I found some blood on the vegetation, but I couldn't see him in the hole. I am sure it was a mortal wound, but he got back in the hole.



This 591 5mm Mag is becoming a really fun rifle to carry and use in the field.

Fine piece of shootin' !!!

I thought about a Rem 5mm for a while but by the time I really got serious, they were discontinued… dangit. The ballistics of the factory R-P Power lokt bullets looked pretty good.

I owned the Remington rifles and shot them when they came out. They should have had the 17hmr following

Agreed!

I just bought one n always had the desire for one. Now that you can ammo..im stocking up on it.
Very nice post OP.....Nice pics n discription !

Thanks. Let us know how your rifle performs.
