222 Remington, Is it .22 cal or .20?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I picked up my new Tikka today, ..222 Remington, Super varmint, to say I am chuffed with it would be an understatement.

 

I'm after cleaning products but am a little confused at what size rod, jags, patches etc that I need.

 

I know this is a dumb question, but does the triple 2 come under .20, or .22 cal?

 

Sorry for my ignorance.

 

Neil.

Neil,

 

The 222 Remington uses .224" bullets, as per the 223 Remington and many other, but not all, 22 calibre centrefire cartridges.

 

To clean it you use 22 calibre jags, brushes, etc..

 

Neil
