It may never be a real popular cartridge again and those firearms from the 1950s and 60s will become excellent investments. Any one of those firearms from the 1950s or 60s in this cartridge I would consider very good investments. This is a great little cartridge and should be enjoyed for the pleasant experience this cartridge gives. I personally hope that this cartridge can make a comeback in the sporting world of shooting. I will discuss more of these two rounds in separate articles. Remington Arms Company would develop the popular 223 round and the extremely popular varmint round in the Remington 22-250. This is one of those cartridges that would lose its place in the 22 center fire world to newly designed cartridges in the 1960s. It can also be enjoyed by women and children or those that are just getting into the shooting sport. Because of its low recoil and extreme accuracy it can be not only a pleasure for the average hunter to shoot. The Remington 222 cartridge is in my opinion is one of the best varmint and bench shooting 22 center fire rounds ever produced. They would all have that quality and workmanship that you could only get from that time period. The Remington model 722 and 760 along with the Savage rifle in the 340 model with the 222 cartridge are a few of my favorite firearms from the 1950s. The Remington 760 in the 222 Remington Cartridge is a True Classic Firearm This gun is still readily available in both the 222 Remington cartridge and 22 Hornet cartridge. The Savage rifle in the 340 model is still a fine gun to have today and with the clip feed system it was an excellent gun to own and hunt with. During the 1950s the Savage Firearms Company would produce a bolt action model 340 in the 222 Remington cartridge. It is a very collectible gun and would be great in any collection.
They did not produce a significant amount of 222 Remington’s in the pump Remington 760. Remington Arms Company would use the Remington 222 round in the model 722 and the Remington 760 pump during the 1950s. Having one of the hyper velocity 22 center fires may give better visual effects but will never outdo the 222 Remington Cartridge for accuracy and the all-around pleasant experience when shooting it.
#.222 REMINGTON RIFLE SERIES#
The 700 series of rifles are legendary and the 222 is just one great varmint cartridge. If someone was to tell me that this combination of rifle and cartridge have been much improved on in the last 60 years I would have some issues. This combination would be very popular in the 1950s. Remington Arms Company would release the Remington 222 and the 722 Remington rifle at about the same time. And it would lead the way in Remington innovation in cartridge designs in the years ahead. It would not only be a totally new cartridge that was not developed from another cartridge. The 222 Remington cartridge would be developed by the Remington Arms Company around 1950. Some years back I was at a registered Bench Rest Match in Tacoma, Washington perusing things - at LEAST 2 (two) of the competitors there we still using H322 powder - and they shot well indeed!ĭon't give up on H322 powder (at least for accuracy) as I have used it very successfully for several decades now.The 222 Remington Cartridge, A Personal Favorite This Rifle uses H322 powder - again I am puzzled at the differences in our results! This is a Colony Varmint Hunting Rifle and once my load was settled upon it only goes to the Rifle range for pre-Varmint Safari sight in verifications anymore!Įven at that this Rifle has shot 5 groups (5 shots at 100 yards) over the years, measuring in the "1's"! This is an all factory stock Rifle with a Leupold 24 power scope on it. One of my all time favorite Rifles is a Remington 40XB-BR in caliber 222 Remington! I am surprised AND puzzled by the difference in our results! These Rifles vary in caliber from 17 MachIV to 22 Remington Bench Rest, 6mm Remington Bench Rest, 6x47 and the aforementioned 222 Remingtons - among others. Including (after a quick perusal of my current loads in my loading log book) a current total of 11 (eleven) Rifles that I am NOW loading for. H322 HAS worked "best" for me in dozens of Rifles over the last several decades! Including "best powder" (accuracy wise!) in 4 (four) of my 6 (six) Varminters in caliber 222 Remington!
I use a lot of it, in MANY different Rifles! H322 is an absolutely splendid powder when seeking accurracy! Hawk1: I could NOT disagree with you more!
