222 REM MAGNUM BRASS?

[happyhunter]

The 222 Remington Magnum is quite an interesting cartridge. You see some nice second hand Sako rifles chambered in it for sale from time. I'd own one for sure.

I haven't got the brass yet. But I don't really have problem paying for the brass. It is for a Sako .222 Mag that was bought brand new in the early 70s and only even had one owner. Cancell out the cost of the brass add a bit of extra powder compare to .223 and price of shooting a nice old gun like that is priceless!

"old gun" , 1970's?
If it 'aint over a hundred years old, it's modern.

The 222 Rem Mag is the parent case used to make the .204 Ruger and both have a case length of 1.850". While you can neck down a larger calibre to a smaller one, I'm not sure you can go from smaller to larger without the risk of splitting the necks. The .204 is prone to neck splits with Hornady factory ammo so maybe avoid their brass. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but maybe others can jump in on the practicalities of necking up brass. Possibly Bruce at Bertrum Brass may be able to point you in the right direction to locate it, if they don't already make it themselves (03) 5792-292.
