Winchester is coming out with a new rimfire round

Meh.....

Why not?
The 5mm MRF is such a popular round.
Though, it was / is a good round.
.17 MRF and the .17 RF are all but dead.

It mainly comes down to SELLING GUNS that fire the latest whizz bang.
Can't say there is a niche not covered in any caliber

Good luck to them, I'm not interested.
Better to put that money into quality control of the calibers you have.

If the heeled bullet is the problem, make .22WRF, tons of old Winchester rifles to fire it. DONE

A solution to a problem that didn’t exist, but there’s plenty of suckers among the shooting community that’ll be running out to buy one.

It’s a gimmick.see no reason for it as 22lr is extremely close to it.

17hMR will probably outperform it in accuracy.
