    5.7 is a very very very tricky round to reload. I would advise you to only reload your own brass and sort it by lots and throw it out after 4-6 reloads. The cases expand so much you have to trim quite a bit and that only thin's out the case even more. When I shot my PS-90 SBR with 5.7 reloads I wear outside-the-wire rated eye protection because the action it literally in my face. It is kinda fun pushing the envelope for what is possible to reload....but extreme caution is warranted with the 5.7 round because of it's unique characteristic. For example in my testing one tenth of a grain differences in powder lead to an almost 60 FPS difference in bullet speed. I would advise against going anywhere near the max with this round and shoot for a nice plinker round.
