Reloading FN 5.7

[freebug]

I"ve been reloading for a few years and am super comfortable doing 308, 5.56/223, 45 and 9mm.

However, I recently got into FN 5.7 and I have the dies, powder and I've read about the process, but this caliber makes it a little harder.

Normally after resizing, I run every shell through a case gauge to ensure that reforming happened within spec.

I can't find a FN 5.7 case gauge. Is there one out there?

Also, does anyone have data for using a 55gr bullet instead of the 40gr Vmax? The FN forum isn't very helpful or at least I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

This is what I use: http://www.eliteammunition.com/#!/Ca...egory=13357838

But only for 40g so far. I'll be interested to see if anyone chimes in with data for 55g.

The reason for lack of load data for 55gr bullets in the 5.7 pistol is that the heavier bullet will sit deeper into the case casing higher pressures. I use the barrel of my 5.7 as a case gauge as I do with all my pistols.

Thank you 12yak. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

I use the same GO/NO GO Gauge from Elite Ammunitions
