Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 222 remington caliber for generally everything up to deer.

My Dad's old Sako in .222 was what I shot my first deer with at the age of 5. My old man has probably shot a few hundred deer with that "inadequate" round. No telling how many I shot when I was a kid either.

Now I'm putting one together for my daughter to use when she gets old enough. SS 700 action, McMillan stock, and a 1:8" Brux No. 2. Figure I'll try the heavier bullets, and that 60gr Partition is at the top of the list along with the various TSXs.
