5 MM Rimfire

My brother in law has a bolt action one from his dad. The ammo is high priced since it only is being made by Aquila now. SGAmmo had it recently and may still at somewhere around $25 a 50 round box.
 
Can someone school me on this round ? What is it good for what can you do with it what else compares to it ?

Any thing you know will be appreciated ......
Check out rimfirecentral.com. There are several threads in the “Other rimfire”and “Ammunition” forums about the rifles and ammo. Pretty good info there.
 
So does anyone even make the rifle anymore ??
I honestly don’t know. I read in one of the threads in the “other rimfire “ forum on rimfirecentral that Thompson Center makes a 5 mm barrel for their single shot break barrel guns. But other than that I think the older Remingtons are it.
