5 mm / 35 SMc

The 5mm/35 SMc cartridge is a relatively new rifle cartridge designed by American gunsmith Michael McPherson in the early 2000s. The cartridge has a bullet diameter of 5mm and a case length of 35mm, which gives it a relatively small size but high velocity.The 5mm/35 SMc cartridge is designed for long-range shooting and is known for its flat trajectory and accuracy. It has a high ballistic coefficient, which helps it retain velocity and energy over longer distances.The cartridge is primarily used in custom-built rifles and has gained popularity among long-range target shooters and hunters. However, due to its relatively new design and limited availability, it is not as widely used as some other rifle cartridges.
