    Who still makes 0.223" diameter projectiles?

    Hi all,
    Have recently acquired a rifle in 220 russian aka 5.6x39, the bore has come out as .223" dia (twist rate TBD) so I am trying to track down projectiles to suit, I'm not really having much luck with google so I was hoping someone could point me towards some .223" projectiles,
    My understanding is that the older 22 hornets were also a 0.223" bore so there should be projectiles out there,

    I have thought about just using 0.224" projectiles but due to my lack of experience reloading am apprehensive to do so as this would potentially increase pressures?

    I'd appreciate if someone could tell me who is selling .223" projectiles here in NZ, or if you had some that you were wanting to sell that would be great too
