Default 5MM RRM Shooters

Hey guys, I may be the last to know but when I was at our Sheridan, WY Sportsman's Warehouse the other day I was surprised to see 5 boxes of 5MM RRM manufactured by Aquila on the shelf.



It was a welcome sight. I know we have a number of the rifles in this area. I hope the shooters find this ammo to be great stuff.

I think the second run of Aguilla 5mm RRM ammo hit the dealers a year to a year and a half ago. I haven't looked recently but it doesn't seem to be as available as earlier.

Remington Models 591 and 592, and some T/C pistol barrels.

The 5MM RFM article on the Saubier home page is dated, but it has some good information about the Aquila RF cartridge and rifles.

About 2000-01, I bought the Schroeder CF conversion bolt head for the cartridge to use in my Model 591 rifle so that I could shoot CF or RF. All in all, either version of the cartridge is a nice short range cartridge which is great for plinking at various varmints.

Nice Contender David S. I have a barrel just like that I have enjoyed shooting it over the past 25 years.
