Comparing the FN 5.7x28mm hot rod to the humble .22 WMR boolet’s performance in ballistic gel, firing through Level II armor: please Sir, may I have some more?
I did not expect that, and I have to admit, I’m feeling a lot better about the .22 Mag (of which I own a hem hem adequate sufficiency), especially as my stock of 5.7x28mm = zero.
I would love to see how the .22 Mag performs when fired out of my Marlin 882 SSV 22″ HB rifle into the same media.
Just out of scientific curiosity, of course.
I was looking for a trail gun and simply could not find a revolver in 22mag around. I eventually picked up a S&W 63 or 64 in 22lr that packs light yet has enough weight so it isn’t too “whippy” like a model 317 can be. the only revolver in 22mag I could find was a long barreled model 48.
Ruger catalogued an LCR revolver in .22WMR, then discontinued it –
Poor Sales, or Poor Marketing – or Both?
I’ve always thought the 5.7×28 would make a very useful small varmint load in a rifle, to go along with my Weihrauch .22 WMR.
