Ever since Taurus and Aguila announced the return of the 5mm Remington Magnum Rimfire (RMR), people have been wanting to know when the ammunition would be in the market. It looks like the Aguila 5mm RMR will be on the shelves by March 28, 2008.
Aguila is manufacturing the 5mm RMR with a 30 grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet that they are rating at 2300 fps. It is unclear if this velocity is measured from the new Taurus revolver or a longer barrel length such as the ones found on the older Remington model 591 and 592 rifles.
The ammo should be available through a variety of retail outlets. MidwayUSA has the Aguila 5mm RMR listed at $16.99 for a box of 50 and $324.99 for a case of 1000 rounds.

The velocity rating is definitely from the 24″ barrel of a Remington rifle. I got over the 2300 fps advertised velocity in my 591M. It is great to have the ammo available again…
