.222 Rem Mag Ammo Prices

Remington stretched the beloved .222 in 1958 to give it more case capacity and more reach and for a brief moment it looked like a winner. Then the military picked a different variant that became the .223 and the Magnum got orphaned almost overnight. A genuinely good cartridge that lost a corporate coin flip and faded into the shadows of its own family tree.

Loads run 40 to 55 grain in the scarce offerings that remain. A niche round priced for its rarity in small boxes. The vintage varmint crowd and the handloaders keep it alive and buy whenever it appears.
