Have a Greener. 222 rimmed Les but a bit far away for you.
I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.

Hey Smokey Jason, thanks for helping me out with the Hornet brass on your last trip to NZ appreciated. I could send you 100 live reload rounds of 222: 55grn Hornady # 2266: 18.5grn ADI 2207. Do you know anyway I can freight live rounds from NZ to Victoria?
How did the Thar hunt go?
Best regards, Hugh
Hey, if you can't get one for 222R, you could possibly use a 223 loader.
223 case is 1.750" long.
222R case is 1.70" long.
Both use 0.224" bullets
Just machine about 0.50 off the base of the neck sizing die and use a smaller scoop. Bobs your uncle.
Neck thickness??

Well if it is 222R You won't find one
But easy to shorten a 222 Lee classic by the with of the rim
Then the rim front face will stop the case on the die rear face
Love my new 222R
But it's a cartridge with lots of accuracy potential and probably deserves a proper reloading set up

I shall rephrase...you cannot sucessfully reload 222rem using 223rem dies...you just cant size enough of the neck for it to work.....and if your going to mutilate a set of 223 dies..you may as well buy new 222rem ones.

Thxks I'm just about all sorted.
The neighbour isn't that flash on the phone, our local sports store is useless to acquire anything, I rang around closer to Melbourne and found what he wanted, some 222rem and
300 win mag, last salesman, probably the local guy, told him 300 wm be 14 bucks a round, wasn't going to pay that no way. The ones I've got a hold of are win 180 gr at 75 dollars, which is not too bad for this age.
