6MM-222
The 6mm-222 is a wildcat cartridge not officially recognized by major ammunition manufacturers, created by necking down the .222 Remington cartridge to accept a 6mm (0.243 inches) diameter bullet. This modification aims to enhance the velocity and ballistic performance for target shooting and varmint hunting.
The 6mm-222 provides a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift compared to its parent .222 Remington cartridge, making it favorable for precision shooting over moderate distances. Being a wildcat cartridge, it requires handloading, which involves custom brass resizing and loading techniques.
Its practical applications include target shooting, small game hunting, and varmint control.
