Anyone reloading for the FN 5.7mm? What are your experiences/favorite powder, etc.

I know not to tumble lacquer casings in stainless media, I'll tell you that.

5.7mm has never been a friendly case to load. You'd figure it should be, it takes the same bullets as a .223, small rifle primers (I think).... seems simple. Not so.

So many variables including a case length that needs to be absolutely perfect.... that round is trouble. Unfortunately there is a huge lack of published reloading data for this caliber. Going to take time perfecting the reloading process. I give you full props for trying to do so.

I have been reloading 5.7 x 28 for the last 2+ years. If you have specific questions feel free to PM me.
