This past posting has me wondering how Brassmonkey made out, with his reloading of this caliber? No follow up?

I cleaned and sized 700 cases, loaded 50 ruined about 15. Sold the gun, brass and dies. Currently torturing myself loading .25acp similar pia just less risky.

I wonder if anyone has tried reloading 5.7 for the new S&W gas operated locked breech pistol. That doesn't deform case shoulders like the blowback FN's and Rugers.

I’d be all over that cartridge in a petite bolt action rifle. Like .221 Fireball Lite or rimless .22 Hornet.
My nephew has the FN FiveSeven pistol and I’m not impressed with it.

Gents, buy a locked breech Smith and Wesson and watch your loading problems disappear. No coating needed, no radical change in the position of the cartridge shoulder. All good.

Preferred Barrels will make a rifle barrel in that caliber. It’s tempting.

For me, the Brass was just too thin. It didn't seem to be intended to be used more than once I'd get crumpled shoulder after crumpled shoulder.

We have all three 5.7 pistols under the glass at my local shop. The FN does not look or feel like $1300.00, if you removed all the markings from it I would assume it was a Kel-Tec. The S&W seems to be the best of the bunch, at least to my eyes.
