I have found a wealth of knowlege here for the past 4-years... so, I ask the question... statement first.
My brother recently acquired a Remington 722 heavy bbl, in 222 Rem Mag.
Then he calls me looking for ammo.
So... do any of you have some brass laying around you are willing to part with.?? I can reload 'em, if I have brass. Thanks.

Greasey,

Try Midsouth Shooters Supply. They have some .222 Mag. brass on order (not currently in stock) for $35.26 per 100.

I have been using the .222 Mag for 40 years. It is a great mid-range varmint cartridge.

Sorry I do not have any brass to spare. It is getting hard to find being the cartridge is about obsolete.

Sorry Dan, If I find .222 mag. brass, I'm using it to form .204!

[If I find .222 mag. brass, I'm using it to form .204!]

Ergo, can .204 brass be blown out or reformed to .222 Mag ?

That may be a question for RCBS.

I would think so, since forming to .204 only requires partial neck sizing, then fire forming. No trimming.
