222 Bullets
222 Remington bullets --- Introduced as part of America’s first rimless cartridge in 1950, it was a mainstay in the target shooting scene until its popularity gradually tapered off in the 1970s. (Its case would eventually serve as the basis for the 223 Rem.) Today, the 222 Rem remains a favorite among many varmint hunters, but its relative scarcity in America means you had better handload if you’re going to master the round’s performance.
With its case that accommodates 27 grains, a 222 Rem can achieve muzzle velocities ranging from around 2,600 to 3,400 fps depending on propellant charge and bullet weight. The .224” bullet commonly belongs to one of five weight classes: 34/35 grain, 40 grain, 50/52 grain, 55 grain, and 60 grain. Enthusiast can enjoy loading a variety of the leading manufacturers’ bullets including Ballistic Tip, V-MAX, BlitzKing, TSX, and Varmint Grenade.
The 222 Rem’s tack driving accuracy, light recoil, and fast velocity all make it a fine choice for ground squirrels up to coyote. Whether it’s an ideal round for medium game is still the subject of debate, although its comfortable recoil makes it a natural selection for younger shooters whose frames can’t soak up too much kick. Regardless of its velocity or weight the 222 Rem’s bullet can not be counted upon to conquer even a smaller deer’s shoulder blade, so taking advantage of its superior accuracy to strike a vital organ is key.

Armscor .224 Diameter Bullets - 55 Grain FMJBT – 4000 Count (Not Ammo)
Regular Price: $369.85
Special Price: $289.85
Cost Per Bullet 7.2¢ to 7.3¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Caliber 22 Hornet, 22-250, 220 Swift, 221 Rem Fireball, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 4000 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Manufacturer Armscor Manufacturer SKU 52344 Armscor got their humble start as a printshop and sporting goods store in Manila all the way back in 1905. In the past few decades they’ve made a big name for themself in America thanks to their Rock Island Armory 1911 pattern pistols, but their ammo has plenty of its own fans as well. Here’s your chance to load the same bullets as Armscor to make your own 223 Rem/5.56x45 ammo!
This case contains 4,000 55 grain FMJBT bullets. Each .224” diameter bullet is hardened by a gilding metal jacket for certain feeding in a semi-auto, and sports a cannelure to facilitate proper crimping. Armscor’s bullet components possess the uniform weight distribution that tight groupings can’t exist without. These bullets’ boat tails not only improve their ballistic coefficient, but also make them easier to seat in the case. Make your own M193 rounds, or get more inventive if you like. You’ll have plenty of room to experiment with 4,000 bullets for handloading!
Please note: These are bullets only, not loaded ammunition! Unless you know how to load your own ammunition, you will be unable to do anything with these bullets except regret ordering them.Customer Reviews

Impeccable service. I ordered these bullets sight unseen for plinking and I got them in a few days.

Armscor .224 Diameter Bullets - 62 Grain FMJ – 4000 Count (Not Ammo)
$299.85Cost Per Bullet 7.5¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Caliber 22-250, 220 Swift, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 4000 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Manufacturer Armscor Manufacturer SKU 52345 This is not loaded ammunition.
A handloader always enjoys a little leeway when it comes to their cases. You can either scavenge discarded brass at the range, or you can order sparkling new brass online (preferably from Widener’s). But no one reloads bullets after they’ve already been fired. They’d be too hard to find, for starters.
Armscor helps handloaders cope with this bitter truth by offering this ponderous box of 4,000 .224 diameter bullets. They are straightforward FMJs, with solid lead cores and copper alloy jackets like you’d find in any M193 bullets.
But at 62 grains, these bullets’ weight gives them in-flight ballistic performance comparable to the M855. They don’t have steel cores that could create sparks or damage range equipment, though, so no range ought to take issue if you want to fire these nonmagnetic bullets on their premises.
Armscor is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer based in the Philippines, and we receive mostly positive reviews on their component bullets. All in all a great way to load a huge passel o’ 223/5.56. Better go warm up the Lee, because we ship fast!Customer Reviews

Nice product, but I found it to be incorrectly labled
-
I bought these to share with fellow reloaders. Had trouble dividing up the bulk product by weight. After checking a random sample more carefully I found the bullets were at 63 gr. NOT 62. It makes no for what I want to use them for, but now the bulk weight and quantity made more sense, and worked out correctly.

Magtech .224 Diameter Bullets - 55 Grain FMJ – 1000 Count

Cost Per Bullet 9.0¢ to 10.0¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Caliber 22-250, 220 Swift, 221 Rem Fireball, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 1000 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Manufacturer Magtech This is not loaded ammunition. These are component bullets and cannot be fired as-is. Please only order them if you are handloader (or need a good gift for a handloader).
Since their foundation in 1990, Magtech has become one of the world’s largest ammunition brands. It sure doesn’t hurt that they’re the flagship label of the CBC Group, which also owns Sellier & Bellot and Metallwerk Elisenhütte Nassau.
The Brazilian giant doesn’t load all of their bullets, however. They bundled up 1,000 of their freshly minted .224” diameter projectiles for the discerning handloader who’s stocking up components for 5.56x45, 223 Rem, or one of several other rifle cartridges.
This is the basic, plain FMJ you want for your next 1,000 range loads. Magtech fits a concentric gilding metal jacket around a solid lead core so you can enjoy consistent target-grade accuracy the next time you aim your AR-15. Or load these bullets if you want to bulk up your self-defense cache!Customer Reviews

Got 1000, tried 3 powders, 2 guns, 12 different loads, fired 100 and couldn't get better than 2.5 inch groups at 100yds and that was the best. The Hornadys I tried along side were night and day better at just slightly more cost. I guess I'll bang steel close in with these.

Only shot about 200 so far, but they are as accurate as any other bullet I have used out of my 5.56. Came packaged in 100 round zip lock bags, which I thought was a nice touch. Would highly recommend, at least out to 200 yards. I haven’t shot them for longer distances yet.
Review by Scubadude (Posted on 12/26/2021)

Great option for range ammo.
-
I loaded these bullets into once-fired brass and they loaded consistently on the bench and performed well on the range. I thought they were well priced (considering current market pricing) and a good value as measured against performance. They were the least expensive bullet I found at the time of my search. I bought 1,000 of them, loaded them up, and have fired about 200 of them. Again, a good performer in my M4. I would definitely buy again.

Speer .224 Diameter Bullets - 55 Grain TMJ – 2000 Count
$299.85Cost Per Bullet 15.0¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Caliber 22-250, 220 Swift, 221 Rem Fireball, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 2000 Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Manufacturer Speer Manufacturer SKU 22455TMJ An artist with a reloading press can make many masterpieces with a case of Speer’s .224 diameter bullets. There’s the 223/5.56 classic, of course, but also the 22-250, the 222 Rem, and the 223 WSSM. Which round will you put your special touch on?
Better yet, these happen to be exceptionally high quality .224 diameter bullets for reloading. At 55 grains they can easily offer up ballistics like the M193, and with their total metal jackets they offer several unique benefits to performance.
A TMJ’s jacket totally encompasses the bullet – including the base of the core. That improves accuracy by preventing the base of the bullet from warping during ignition. It makes for a cleaner barrel, as no lead will evaporate during ignition to stick to the rifling. It even makes for a healthier shooter, especially if they’re shooting indoors where lead vapors could have lingered around in the air.
Speer utilizes an electrochemical process to yield highly concentric and balanced jackets. They carefully control for bullet weight, and ensure each projectile totals .725” long. Speer is so confident in this bullet that they bill it as ideal for competitive shooting!
Hey! Please make sure you don’t expect loaded ammunition when you order this case of component bullets. You can not fire these bullets right out of the box – they are for loading your own ammo at home!Customer Reviews

Great plinking bullets.

These are component bullets for handloading. You can not fire them straight out of the box.
Don’t settle for a full metal jacket when you could have a total metal jacket. This .224” diameter bullet by Speer is 100 percent jacketed in copper, which means it doesn’t leave the lead in its core exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition.
A TMJ offers three unique benefits that a FMJ does not. It prevents ignition from deforming its base, thus keeping its streamlined profile intact. It prevents ignition from evaporating the lead in its core, which will keep your breathing space a lot less toxic. It furthermore prevents lead residue from accumulating in the barrel, so you can enjoy greater accuracy throughout the duration of your target shooting session!
At 0.725” long, this 55 grain bullet makes a swell choice for loading 223 Rem, 5.56x45, and a variety of other rifle cartridges. Great for competition as well as plain old plinking when no one’s looking!Customer Reviews

Cost Per Bullet 14.9¢ to 17.0¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Caliber 22-250, 220 Swift, 221 Rem Fireball, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 100 Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Manufacturer Speer Manufacturer SKU 22475TMJ Want to load the kind of 223 Rem ammo that you can use to truly impress competition judges – or trim the eyelashes off a hare at several hundred yards? Speer’s got you covered. This bullet’s naturally resistant to wind drift at a hefty 75 grains, and thanks to its super concentric jacket it boasts exceptional rotational stability!
Speer’s total metal jacket does more than contribute to balance. Because the electrochemically plated TMJ additionally shields the bullet’s lead core, it bars hot propellant gasses from warping its base and impacting accuracy. And because its core doesn’t evaporate during ignition, this bullet keeps a barrel’s rifling cleaner and a shooter’s breathing space significantly more free of airborne carcinogen!
Speer makes some pretty high end stuff, so they have the setup they need make consistently heavy and .725” long 223 bullets. A great pick for long distance shooters!
Please note: This a box of 100 bullets for reloading, not loaded ammunition. You can not fire these bullets unless you know how handload.Customer Reviews

Horrible accuracy

I really wanted to love these because of their price and BC. I have a BCM 20” barrel that loves the Hornady 55 Grain FMJ (1.25 MOA) and Hornady 75 Grain BTHP (.75 MOA). These shot around 5” groups at best and I’m not exaggerating.

Speer .224 Diameter Bullets - 75 Grain TMJ – 2000 Count
$385.00Cost Per Bullet 19.3¢ per bullet Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Caliber 22-250, 220 Swift, 221 Rem Fireball, 222 Rem, 222 Rem Mag, 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm Quantity 2000 Bullet Type Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) Manufacturer Speer Manufacturer SKU 22475TMJ Speer made these .224 diameter bullets specifically with America’s most popular rifle cartridge in mind! At 75 grains they are optimal for loading long range rounds, and a skilled reloader can likely make these bullets’ ballistics work for non-223 cartridges as well.
These bullets feature the total metal jackets that Speer is famous for. The Idahoan manufacturer implements a special electrochemical process to cover each bullet’s lead core entirely in a durable, even jacket. Unlike an FMJ, the TMJ additionally shields the core of the bullet at the base. This prevents deformation that could harm accuracy during ignition, as well as the evaporation of lead that leads to accelerated bore fouling. It also prevents the creation of lead vapors that you’re better off not breathing in!
