Now this is a historically important caliber you don't see very often- can you guess?

[Lucky]

I still own a .222. Great little cartridge!

I got couple also

If you look at the book behind the cartridges, it contains information on a bit more historically significant round.

7.5 x 55 Swiss, often credited at being one of, if not the first mass produced rounds to use a copper jacketed projectile.

We take that technology for granted because it's been around over 100 years.

Yep.

It's surprising how many Savage 24s you see that have the rifle barrel chambered in .222.

When I was a kid, (mid-60s) I had a book called "The Varmint and Crow Hunters Bible". All they could talk about was the .222.

With the .223 being on the left, I was thinking of a far scarcer round, the .222 Remington Magnum. The round the .223 beat out in military trials.

I had a Ruger mini 14 chambered in .222. it wasn't any more accurate than the .223. traded it off for something better.

Once during an ammo shortage I accidentally bought a few boxes of .222 from a store like an idiot thinking it was .223…. Oops lol. Took me awhile to get rid of them. Learned a lesson about thoroughly reading ammo boxes

I’ve never done anything like that………. today.

I had a Colt Sporter AR chambered in .222 Rem in the mid 2000s. Wish I still had it.

I “might” know a guy with one. Factory lettered, the holy grail of rare Colt AR’s.

This past weekend I just got done with load development for my 222.
50s model savage 340b.
