Sellier & Bellot 222 55gr Soft Point

This 222 Rem cartridge by Sellier & Bellot sports a 50 grain soft point projectile. The soft point is a very popular choice for hunting -- its tried and true design is budget-friendly, and its rapid expanding terminal performance makes it highly effective for taking a variety of game. This round’s bullet’s partial jacket is made of a copper-zinc alloy which is further hardened with the addition of iron. As the result it is strengthened considerably, preventing it from becoming deformed during ignition to support straight flight, enabling it to penetrate soft targets with ease, and ensuring that expansion takes place at a steady, measured pace.

Sellier & Bellot has been in continual operation for nearly two centuries now, making them the oldest company of their kind in the world. Their experience shows in the mastery with which they’ve created this affordable round’s high quality components. This cartridge’s propellant burns clean to consistently produce the optimal chamber pressure for its caliber, and its Boxer primer does not produce an abundance of corrosive residues upon ignition. Furthermore, each of these 20 rounds’ brass casings are interchangeable with one another and provide fungible performance. You ought to hold on to them for handloading down the line.
