I get the "rimfire only" thing. I just think it's risky business for a manufacturer to stake their future in reinventing wheels. Especially this day and age. How many of us have a rifle in our inventory now whose ammunition is now unobtainium? I'm sure glad I didn't buy an 8 Mag when I wanted one so badly. It was hard enough finding the bread-and-butter standards like the .30-06, .270, 7 Mag, and .243 until just recently. Where does one find stuff like .22 Hornet, .308 Norma, .307 Win, or .280 then? So, we buy the bejeezus out of stuff "just in case" the market goes crazy again or to hedge the possibility that our manufacturer will make a business decision to drop our pet caliber.
I'd be interested if anyone who's purchased one of these responds with a range report. Can't say I've seen ammunition for .22 RF lately, let alone something as new as this.
(edit) I actually HAVE seen .17 Fireball (Rem mfr) on the shelf as recently as last week. I can check to see if it's still there.
