[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Brass identification

Posted: 5/29/2007 2:52:44 AM EDT

I found this piece of brass on my range Sunday. Would someone ID it? Never heard of it. It looks to be a 22 pistol round.

5.7x28 FMB 06 on the headstamp.

Is this a foreign or domestic round? New> Old?

Thanks,

Round

It is a 5.7 x 28 mm round made for the FNH Five-seveN, P90 and PS90 (Non SBR)

That's it guys. Thanks.

Any ballistics? I like this little cartridge. If it's any good, I might look into buying one.

Thanks.

YMMV, but IMO this is a pathetically weak round.
