I realize you're not working on the edia but it's interesting. did you have in mind maybe the centerfire conversion of the 5mm and go from there? I really like your thoughts on something in the 5mm rimfire cartridge size -- maybe a centerfire 17 or 14 caliber wildcat. I've got one project in the final stages so I have to concentrate on that one but your idea is interesting to me. I've gone to the smaller cartridge case sizes and shoot shorter ranges due to a need to economize and limited mobility.

I have an offset Handi rifle barrel in 14 cal that I am chambering for a necked down 5mm RF. I have the dies built now, the only thing keeping me from completion is that no one is making 10 gr 14 cal bullets right now, and my barrel is a 1 in 10 twist. Larry

Interesting concept. But the manufacturers aren't putting out guns chambered for the 5MM rimfire yet. Wildcatting rimfires seems overly expensive due to the volume of cases the companies want an individual to buy per order.
