222 Remington History and General Information:

 The 222 Remington was introduced by Remington in 1950. The 222 remington was a completely new 22 centerfire design in the United States as it was the first fully rimless cartridge in 22 centerfire.

 The 222 Remington remains as one of the top varmint rounds in the United States as it is one of the few cartridges that recoils very little and in most sporting rifles will shoot 1" or less size groups right out of the box. With 50 grain bullets traveling around 3,300 feet per second varmints don't stand much of a chance out to about 250 Yards.

 The 222 remington is a very light recoiling cartridge that almost anyone would enjoy shooting and is highly recommended for anyone who would like to try varminting as their first varmint cartridge.
