The .222 Remington was initially very popular among varmint hunters and target shooters due to its inherent accuracy and mild recoil. Typical bullet weights for the .222 Remington cartridge range from 40 to 55 grains, with muzzle velocities between 3,000 and 3,300 feet per second, depending on the load.
