If you go to the Midway webpage they now have two different Remington 5MM Magnums, both with a 30 grain JHP but one is titled varmint and it is more expensive. What is the difference, a different bullet design...more velocity?

  I suspect that the bullet design is part of it, like the 17 HMR. They have a 17 grain v-max bullet in one and a 20 grain xtp in the other for controlled expansion. Likewise with the 5MM, though I think both bullets are the same weight...one is a v-max that rapidly and rabidly comes unglued.

  That makes excellent sense, I know the original Aguila 30 JHP had very controlled expansion.
