The .222 Remington loaded with the Soft Point (SP) projectile for hunting
The .222 Remington, also called “The triple deuce”, has been popular in Scandinavia among bird hunters as a good cartridge option for capercaillie and black grouse. It also gained a good reputation in Central-Europe where it was and still is used for roe bock hunting. The .222 Rem. round continuously enjoys a reputation for inherent accuracy, and it is today a popular small game and varmint cartridge at short and medium ranges.
