Since it is nothing more than a .22 Hornet in a rimless case, why bother? Just get a .22 Hornet barrel. I have one and love it. You can ream it out to a K-Hornet if you want.

Amen. I've said the exact same thing myself.

All these new wiz-bang cartridges that are comming out every year do nothing that the old standards can't do. Atleast not enough more that a shooter or game animal would notice. ;D

Guys, thanks for all your input.
As to why the 5.7. I already have a .22 Hornet, but the main reason
is due to my getting around 2500 rounds of the stuff (40 V-Max). It was either
sell it/ trade it or get a barrel made. So I ask you, is this a good enough reason
or not to get another barrel ( as if we need a reason)?

Yep that is a darn good reason.
