Cartridge Profile: .222 Rimmed
The .222 Rimmed is a rimmed sporting cartridge associated with European break-action rifles, combination guns, and similar actions that benefit from positive extraction by the rim. It is distinct from the rimless .222 Remington and should never be assumed interchangeable.
Today, new brass for this chambering is generally produced in scheduled or limited runs. Bertram cases give handloaders a new-production option without relying exclusively on aging original cases or extensive case conversion.
Rifle and Chamber Compatibility
Historic and modern break-action rifles, drillings, combination guns, and single-shot rifles specifically marked for .222 Rimmed. Verify the exact chamber designation before ordering.
Compatibility warning: Similar cartridge names do not guarantee interchangeability. Always verify the exact chamber marking, case dimensions, dies, shellholder, and published loading information before use.

Can this brass be reloaded?
Yes. Case life depends on chamber dimensions, load pressure, sizing practices, preparation, and inspection between loadings.
