Lapua 222 Remington 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Rifle Ammunition

The .222 Remington—colloquially known as “The triple deuce”—earned its reputation as a benchrest favorite from its 1950 introduction through the mid-1970s. In Scandinavia, it became the cartridge of choice for capercaillie and black grouse hunters, while Central European shooters adopted it for roe buck hunting and continue to do so. The .222 Rem. maintains its well-deserved standing for inherent accuracy and serves as a dependable small game and varmint round at short and medium ranges. Lapua factory-loaded ammunition in this centerfire caliber delivers a 55gr FMJ projectile at 2887 fps, packaged in 20-round capacity boxes.
