.222 Remington Bullet Keyring | Bullet Keychain

The Triple-Deuce

Remington introduced the .222 in 1950 as a small, efficient varmint round. It turned out to be so accurate that it dominated benchrest competition through the 1950s and 1960s, and it set the pattern for the small-calibre centrefire rounds that followed – including the .223.

In Britain the .222 was the classic foxing rifle for a generation of keepers and farmers, before the .223 and .22-250 took over. Plenty of those rifles are still in use.

A Slim Rifle Keyring

This .222 bullet keyring keeps the neat proportions of the round: about 54 mm long and slimmer than most rifle cartridges. The once-fired case is brought back to a bright brass finish, a bullet is seated in the neck, and it hangs from a 25mm split ring.
