History of the .222 Remington Magnum Cartridge:

The 222 Remington Magnum was introduced in 1958 for the Remington Model 722 bolt-action rifle, after being in experimental military tests, but never adopted by the U.S. Military.

The 222 Remington Magnum has 20% more capacity and delivers 100 FPS more velocity then the now current 222 Remington production cartridge.

The 222 Remington Magnum and Remington 223 or (5.56NATO) have almost the same ballistics; however, the 222 Remington Magnum has about 5% more case capacity.
