Description
Remington's High Performance .222 Rem puts together classic varmint performance in a tight, consistently loaded package. The 50-grain Core-Lokt pointed soft point bullet is built for the flat trajectories and controlled expansion that varmint hunters expect, while the reloadable brass cases with boxer primers make it ideal if you're thinking about handloading down the road.
What Makes This .222 Rem Load Work
The pointed soft point design gives you the aerodynamic profile you want in a smaller varmint round. At 3140 feet per second, this load delivers 1094 foot-pounds of energy, plenty enough for prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small game out to practical hunting distances. The Core-Lokt bullet is engineered to expand progressively for quick, clean kills without excessive fragmentation.
Tight Tolerances, Consistent Performance
Remington's reputation with the High Performance series comes from ultra-tight assembly tolerances. Every round feeds reliably, chambers consistently, and shoots to the same point of impact. If you're pulling together the kind of accuracy varmint hunting demands, you'll appreciate that attention to detail whether you're new to the .222 or have been running one for years. The brass quality supports reloading, which many folks find worth the investment in larger volume.
Varmint Hunting and Precision Target Work
This is solid ammunition for anyone reaching for a .222 Rem rifle. Whether you're after coyotes and smaller predators, running .222 benchrest matches, or just want reliable factory loads that shoot well, Remington's High Performance line delivers. The round itself has that following among precision shooters for a reason, and quality ammo like this is why the cartridge still holds its own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this .222 Rem PSP load suitable for handloading?
Yes. The reloadable brass cases with boxer primers make this a solid choice if you're planning to reload. Remington brass is known for durability and consistency through multiple reloading cycles, which can add value if you shoot in volume or want to work up precision loads.
What makes the pointed soft point design work for varmint hunting?
The PSP bullet combines a spitzer shape for better aerodynamics and flatter trajectory with a soft point that expands on impact for quick, clean kills on varmints. Core-Lokt mechanically locks the bullet core, delivering controlled expansion that's effective without unnecessary fragmentation.
Can I use .222 Rem ammo in a .223 Remington rifle?
No. The .223 Remington and .222 Remington are different cartridges. You must use the correct ammunition for your specific rifle. Using the wrong round can damage your firearm and create safety hazards.
How does the 50-grain bullet weight compare to other .222 Remington loads?
The 50-grain weight is a popular sweet spot for .222 varmint loads, offering a good balance of velocity, energy, and accuracy. Most .222 varmint ammunition falls between 40 and 60 grains, with 50 to 53 grains favored by many benchrest and varmint shooters for consistency and performance.
