I’ve been reloading 5.7 for a little over three years now, it is a pain but I love running my (now SBR’d) PS90 and it’s hugely cheaper to reload. Factory ammo even when it was cheap was 40 cents a round, now closer to 60-70 cents, by comparison I can make a clone of that for around 20-25 cents, that and reloading gives you more projectile options than the 3 currently offered. As someone with experience with 5.7 I would add that all the cautions in the link are justified, you’ll eventually get used to the cartridge though, course I also reload 40x46mm so I’m weird.

To hell with that.

I still don’t understand the fascination with this cartridge, and reloading it definitely seems like more trouble than it’s worth.
