222 magnum

[Nathan b]

Any one have any experience with this round what is your go to powder bullet combination

[JeffreyDeGraff]

That is one I have never owned. But I would think all of the same bullets and powders that are good in 223 would be good in the 222 mag too.

There were some Ruger Mini-14's produced in 222Rem and the military took a close look at using the 222Mag. chambering. --- SAWMAN

There were some Ruger Mini-14's produced in 222Mag. Also,the military almost adopted it for use in the M16's. --- SAWMAN

I have seen the Minis in .222 Rem, but never the .222 Mag. They made them in .222 for sale in countries where they ban citizens from owning any “military” calibers. On a side note the .222 Rem Mag case was used in the creation of the .204 Ruger if my memory serves.

You are right about the 204 and 222mag.

You gentlemen are correct. I mis-spoke (mis- typed). I amended my above. --- SAWMAN

[Nathan b]

So any ideas powder bullet?

[JeffreyDeGraff]

What twist is your barrel, what are you going to use it for?


JTD

[SAWMAN]

Jeff is right in his above. Pretty much the same case capacity as the 223Rem. Same bore diameter. Most likely slow twist ( guessing 1:12).
Which gun is this chambered in ??
Google is your close friend. --- SAWMAN
