222 Ammo For Sale
History of 222 Ammo
The .222 Remington was introduced shortly after World War II and was the first new cartridge of the era presented by a large manufacturer. A unique characteristic about this round is that the case is original, instead of modifying an existing case to become the new caliber. However, since the .222 was introduced, it has inspired many other successful cartridges – including the .17 Remington, .221 Fireball, and the .223 Remington. The last of these has largely eclipsed the 222 for dropping varmints, as rounds produced by the American military tend to perform a lot better than their civilian counterparts.
