I love subcalibers and have been looking into the 204 ruger. Still plan on it in time (having family and financial issues) but reading about I just ran across something that made me drool. 5mm/35SMc. Holy crap thats speed. A 204 with factory loads push a 32gr to 4300fps (read some reports of handloaders not being able to reach this). The 5mm/35SMc will push that to 4650fps and iv read its capable of exceeding 4800fps. Oh happy day. Probably that will be the first wildcat I ever get, after the 204 in all liklyhood. Unless I find
something faster first.

And yes im aware of 20br and similar wildcats. The 5mm/35SMc appears faster from what I read though not by much.

Damn, that has to be hard on throats.
What is the barrel life expectancy?

I cant find a good source. The patent owner claims alot. Seems to be at least 600-1000.
