Greetings @JohnDuxbury,
Using some rules published by John Barsness a few years back and net case capacities from the Nosler site you should be able to get to about 100 fps less than the .223 in the .222 all else being equal. My old Speer No 9 manual data with both shot in bolt actions seems to support this.
