Centurion 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum
The 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum is back!
The 5mm Rem Magnum was originally produced from 1970 to 1974. Only a few firearms where chambered in it. The bolt action Remington Model 591 and Model 592 where chambered in it and Thompson Center Arms offered it for a brief period of time.
In comparison the 30 gr .22 Magnum (WMR) traveling at 2,200 ft/s generates 322 ft/lb of energy.

I have had one since 1970/71 stopped shooting it when down to last box of ammo. I am back to shooting it and seven dead ground hogs, one shot, each dead. Good round and fun to shoot. Purchased one box of the new ammo and found it worked well so got enough to hold me a lifetime. Hope they will keep it going.
