    222 from 223

    Bit of a waste of time as 222 brass is easy obtainable but I never researched it
    But thought id have a play as I have plenty of 223 brass with no rifle
    Flying completely by the seat of my pants as I didn’t even know it could be done

    I started by anealing the 223 brass i then trimmed the 223 brass to 1.690”
    222 trim length in my manual
    That’s alot of triming trust me from a 223 case

    I then lubed them well and run them through my 222 fls die

    Yep perfect 222 brass that chamber fine in my 222

    Next step will be to fireform a couple with no projectile just use a small charge of pistol powder and fill the case with cream of weat and see how they go
