Ammo for .222 Remigton

[dushikelwa]

Hi, I have a .222 remington pump action rifle. Was wanting to know if there any ammo available. Tried a few sources but could not find any. Any help will be appreciated.

.222 Remington is readily available in the USA.
Unlike a lot of rifle calibers that people inquire about on this forum, .222 Rem rifles are still sold here and will probably continue to be for a while.
As for it's availability in India, Someone else will have to answer that question.

All ammo you will find will be a.) old or b.) illegally being sold by renowned shots.
Choose your poison.
