603Country, the 222 is still alive, but the 222 mag is dead. I reckon the 222 mag wasn't around long enough to be chambered in very many rifles like the 222 was. The 5mm remington rimfire is another example of this kind of fate. It was a great round, but only chambered in one rifle, and that's why it died. If I had a choice between the 5mm rimfire, and the 17hmr I would choose the 5mm if it were still alive.
