5mm Rem Magnum Ammo For Sale
History of 5mm Rem Magnum Ammo
In 1969, Remington Arms Company designed and introduced the 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum cartridge, chambered in two of their bolt action rifles – the Model 591 and Model 592. The company ended production in 1973, after having produced about 52,000 rifles. No other major manufacturer ever produced any rifles chambered in 5mm RRM.
In 2008, Taurus International announced that they would manufacture one of their Tracker series handguns chambered for the 5mm RRM. They marketed the nine-shot double action revolver to varmint shooters. At that time, Aguila Ammunition simultaneously announced that they would start producing 5mm RRM ammo as well, which went into production in conjunction with Centurion Ordinance in 2008.
