  • The .225 Winchester is a powerful rifle cartridge developed by Winchester in 1964. It was designed as a shorter, lighter alternative to the .30-06 Springfield and was intended to be used in bolt-action rifles. The cartridge delivers superior performance with excellent accuracy and low recoil, making it ideal for long-range shooting.The .225 Winchester is available in several popular bolt-action rifles from top manufacturers such as Browning, Howa, Kimber, Remington, Ruger, Savage Arms and Tikka T3x CTR. It is also available in semi-automatic rifles such as the Ruger American Predator and Savage MSR 15 Competition.
