Can you use .223 dies to re load .222.

Re: 222 Dies
What's the difference between the .223 case and the .222 is the .222 case just shorter or are there major differences. I have several .223 die sets both full length a neck dies. .223 is not a calibre I want to return to but I have a cunning plan for a .222. If its just a shorter case length I am thinking I could machine the dies down to a shorter length. Or swop the .223 dies.

40 quid will be easier, and those dies are fine - my 222 shoots the ears off gnats at 100 yards

Lee RGB die set, £22 inc. postage from Kranks, perfectly decent set of dies.
