17/222 Remington Question

[tred1956]

Hi,
Just bought an OTT

17/222 Rem Contender barrel. If I understand correctly the only difference in it and a regular 222 Rem is the neck reduced to 17 caliber. If this is the case I should be able to use the same dies I use to neck down the 22 hornet to 17AH. Since I seat all sub calibers with vickerman dies I should also have bullet seating covered. I say all this to ask the question. Can I buy just a fl sizing die? Or should I buy a fl sizing bushing die and use it to size? All thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Thanks
Doug

You can get a FL sizing die, but I always get bushing dies for my wildcats because by changing bushing you can use the same dies on everything from 17 222 to the 300-222.
