.222 Remington
The triple deuce was an instant success when Remington marketed it in their then new 722 bolt action rifle in 1950. Designed mainly by Mike Walker the case was an entirely new development and not based on any existing cartridge. In many respects it is a scaled-down version of a .30-06, and the base diameter of the case soon became a standard which many other cartridges would use.
Due to the high precision potential of the cartridge, its flat trajectory and the mild recoil it quickly became popular amongst benchrest shooters as well as hunters in both the US and Europe.
