Reason I ask is that while going through my reloading stuff I found a bag of 222 rem Magnum brass. Bought them new from reloaders about 10 yrs ago when I wanted some 222 brass and got given these by mistake. Bag of 100 new 222 rem magnum.........
Guess I could neck them down to feed one of my 204's but it would be a shame to do that if someone still shoots the 222 mag......
Someone will have a Sako Vixen L461/A1 kicking about in .222 Rem Mag for sure, unless it's been converted to .223 (which is actually a sensible thing if you shoot a lot)...
or the 224 terminator which cracks me up....
the 222 magnun got necked down to 204
the 204 necked back up to 224
round n round we go, where it stops, nobody knows.
I’ve got one (a lovely Sako L461 - part of my Sako Vixen collection). I do have some brass but if you have some I would be keen- will PM you.
Got your PM....just getting ready to leave as I have a charter to run tomorrow. Will get back to you...Quote:

Not disagreeing with you @shooternz just thinking out loud here on a rainy day
how easy is it to get the case ( or make ) how much is that cartridge going to cost and the Biggy whats it
going to be used for, how heavy is that rifle setup going to be.
2 examples i have is these cartridges
.222 on the left & its Wildcat version the .22 VarTarg Turbo ( shorter neck, blown out shoulder, neck turned in a tight chamber )
.222 in a Sako Vixen its a great Walkabout setup, i dont need tiny groups, its a kinda dual purpose setup to me . . the VarTarg in a heavy barreled Varmint rifle is a Big step up in accuracy and i gain an extra 100 yards in range when shooting Rabbits over the Sako.
Attachment 165974
last thought before i head outside, its stopped raining . . the .222magnum always sounded exotic back in the day before the .223 took over and if i wanted to build a period rifle i would consider it, fck the cost, fck being sensible, just do it.
Yeah that's the attitude, I built a .223 Rem to shoot Full bore rifle, at 100 metres my .222 beats it all day every day but not at a 1000 yardsQuote:
