The .222 Remington also called The triple deuce was a popular target cartridge particularly among benchrest shooters from its introduction in 1950 until the mid-1970s. In Scandinavia it became popular among capercaillie and black grouse hunters. It also gained a good reputation in Central-Europe where it was and still is used for hunting of roe bocks. The .222 Rem. Round continuously enjoys a reputation for inherent accuracy and it is today a popular small game and varmint cartridge at short and medium ranges.

Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.

The 222 Remington, introduced in 1950, was designed as a super-accurate benchrest cartridge by Remington engineer (and legendary benchrest shooter) Mike Walker. Accurate and easy on barrels, it was the most popular 22 centerfire and most popular varmint cartridge for many years. Today it has given way in popularity to the 223 Remington and the much faster 22-250, but it is often a more accurate cartridge than either, and is still loaded by most major ammunition suppliers. Bullets of 50 to 55 grains run just over 3000 feet per second; lighter bullets can be faster and heavier bullets will be a bit slower. It remains a fine choice for varmint hunting out to perhaps 300 yards, and heavy-bullet (60 grains and over) loads are available for deer hunting where it is legal. Relatively few new rifles are still chambered to 222 Remington, but it remains a fine and versatile 22 centerfire. — Craig Boddington
