I just inherited my dad's 222 rem magnum and understand the ammo is no longer made. Where can I get casings?.. I can reload myself. I've been away the the gun scene for years. Hope someone can help. Thanks
Far as I know Remington still produces 222 brass and ammo, so does Winchester (but I suggest you reload anyways). Norma and lapua both produce quality brass. So you can probably find them from all the popular shooting suppliers. Dies are also cheap and made by pretty much everyone. You shouldn't have any problems getting any of the components or finding good load data.
