The 5X28MM is a 5.7X28MM necked down to 5MM. Anyone load for this wildcat?

I don't but I have thought about it. Do you load it and what gun?

Do a search for the KIt Fox and Shrike. Both are 20x28 wildcats. I load for the Mink which is the rimmed version of the 28 and I use Enforcer or ww296. 1680 is another powder and if you can find it 680. True Blue aswell as N105 are other powders I have for testing and even some AA#9. I imagine you'll use the 32gr and lighter, the 296 will work well, as I was getting 3200fps from a 20" barrel. What is this gun you're shooting if you have one? Adam

I am shooting a Rem 580 convered to centerfire. It sports a 23 inch 20 cal barrel. Using 32 gr bullets, 296 about 9.1 grs for 2950 fps. Shoots 1/2 inch at 100 yards.
