The .22 Remington BR (Bench Rest) is a centerfire rifle cartridge designed primarily for benchrest shooting competitions, where precision and accuracy are paramount. It was developed by Remington Arms and is part of the BR family of cartridges, which also includes the .6mm BR Remington and the .308 BR Remington.
