Is it practical to reload 5.7MM or is it best to just shoot factory loads?

  Given cost of ammo, I'd think it would be... I've actually heard tell that a small company ot two has started loading specialty ammo that is alot hotter and more practical for defence and hunting use..

  For what its worth ordinary 5.7x28mm ammo runs about $20 per box of 50 rds.
  
  At $0.40 a round, I'd say it probably pays to reload it, if you were so inclined.
  
  I can't imagine doing so would be really any different than any other bottleneck/rifle round.
