    Johnd, i have been looking at one, on a very nice euro, single shot, it's been, for sale for ages,
    Brass is about, I think you can use same dies, just need a different shell holder, I see .222 rimmed brass about every once in a while, here in Canada, still quite common in Europe.

    I had one on a Martini Cadet action.It was accurate and nice to shoot with.From memory I used .222 Rem dies and a shell holder in a pistol caliber.

    I ended up having it chopped and rechambered in .218 Bee for no good reason other than I had a Sako Vixen in .222 at the time.
