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

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.

Spend some of that money you've made selling all those clunky rifles. Tight a**e.

Don't want a set of lee dies and I certainly would not pay £40 for a set of Lee.

Sold them for a reason Rog my new lathe arrives to morrow. I wont have to bother the guys in the work shop any more for my little government jobs.

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.
