ES. .222Rem.

All of the above plus different primers but don’t sweat it KB!
Unless you are shooting competition target at long range I would treat ES as BS. The kill zone on a fox is at least five inches whether you hit it high, low, right or left of centre so if you are getting an inch at 100 that’s 2 inches at 200 or if you have the confidence 3 inches at 300. Your bullet is trundling along at well north of 3,000 fps giving easily 1,000 ft lbs of energy so plenty good enough for any bushy-tailed critter….
Anyhow, with the sainted triple deuce how could you possibly miss?

Interesting, wasn't the 222 the epitomy of accuracy, and a competitive cartridge in its heyday ?

Yes it was.

I was in the same boat myself, my 6.5 creedmoor is single figures while the .223 was double. It played on my mind for sometime, however….. accurate is accurate, and a dead fox is a dead fox. I now stop worrying
