Are you wanting info on the Cartridge OR bullets?  Since you don’t reload, I’m guessing the total cartridge.   A .222 is a very accurate varmint cartridge out to 250 yards, and the 527 is an excellent rifle.   With that said, if you don’t reload you mat find triple duece ammo (1) somewhat hard to find, and (2) a touch more pricey than the much more common .223.   The .222 was a top ranked varmint and target round back in the day, but it’s been largely superceded by the .223/5.56 mm as the latter is available in so many semi-auto (AR) platforms.    .223 is very cheap ammo to buy, .222 boy so much.     If you’re looking for a fun little rifle to shoot 100 times a year (or are willing to learn to load) and can buy it right the .222 would be great.    If you wanna shoot a bunch and cheap ammo is wanted, .223 is what you want.   Many years ago I had a .222 Sako Vixen that was incredibly accurate at 250 yards.  I hand loaded with an old Lee “Target” handloader (tap rounds in dies with hammer) .   Slow, but produced excellent quality ammo.  I was shooting 3-400 rounds /yr at the time.  (I’m hoping you comment about shooting Toyota’s was a spellcheck issue-otherwise you need a much heavier caliber😳.
