About .222 Remington Ammunition
Remington introduced the .222 in 1950. It quickly dominated benchrest competition and became one of the most popular varmint cartridges in the world, inspiring the later .223 Remington.
Most loads use 40 to 55 grain bullets. 50 grain soft points are ideal for groundhogs, prairie dogs and coyotes at moderate range.
Velocity is a bit lower than .223 Remington, but accuracy and light recoil keep the .222 a favorite. The two cartridges are not interchangeable.
