Such was the question that came up during a congenial dinner during the 2004 SHOT Show with our friends at Aguila Ammunition and Centurion Ordnance. Efrain Peralta, the Chief Engineer for Aguila Ammunition, then held out a note book to writer Tim Mancillas and I, depicting a perfectly hand drawn blueprint of the long discontinued 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum cartridge. Tim and I both looked at each other and grinned. Yes, we know this cartridge I said. We're both 5mm shooters. And so it began. As fortune would have it, good fortune in this case, I was contacted by a friend of mine who works part-time in a gun shop in Pennsylvania when they traded in an odd rifle. His questions of me were initially trying to gather information in order to determine if he wanted to keep this rifle for himself or place it in the rack for sale with a fair market value price. I wasn't certain what fair market value was, but was able to give him enough information on this particular chambering to determine that he did not need this rifle. I did express interest in the rifle and asked that he let me have first shot at buying it. After a few e-mail exchanges, a description of the rifle condition and features, an agreement on price was reached and I asked him to hold it for me... This was a trip of a lifetime for me, an opportunity to meet folks with whom I’ve talked to for years and shared a common shooting pas*ion. It was more about the people than the hunt, we had such a good time sitting around talking, learning, and sharing experiences. The camaraderie made the trip great. Seeing the beautiful country side, shooting the dogs, testing the wind in NE, and hanging out in Tom Moore shares with us his experience with his favorite .17 caliber including tips on case forming and loads used. Interview with Bill Eichelberger on the “Extreme Small Calibers”. Bill Eichelberger is probably the go-to guy, the guru, the authority on the small calibers. His experimentation with the .14’s, .12’s and .10’s has been extensive, and I would like to thank him for this
