.222 Remington Trajectory Calculator
The .222 Remington is a benchmark accuracy cartridge that dominated benchrest shooting for decades. With a 50-grain bullet at 3,395 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 2.5 inches of drop at 200 yards, 5.5 inches at 250 yards, and 10.1 inches at 300 yards. Low recoil and inherent accuracy make it a favorite for varmint hunters who value shot-to-shot consistency.
