The .222 Remington, often called “the triple deuce,” gained popularity as a target cartridge among benchrest shooters following its 1950 introduction and remains respected for inherent accuracy. It is commonly used for short- and medium-range small-game and varmint work, and has also seen use in certain European hunting contexts. Lapua offers factory-loaded cartridges in this centerfire caliber for shooters who prioritize consistent, match-capable performance.
