222 Rem Mag Bushing Die

[Nitemann]

Does/did anybody make a full length bushing sizing die for the 222 rem mag? I can't seem to find one looking through Reddings info or elsewhere.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,
Another 222 Rem Mag user!

I looked around and couldn't find one without going custom. So I just took my Redding FL die (P/N 11029) and honed the neck from .237" to .2454". I use it without the expander. All my brass is Rem, so case neck thickness is consistent.

I am a 222 Magnum junkie. I use .223 Bushing dies for the 222 Mag and they work just fine. There is only ~0.026" difference.

Just watch the shoulder and don't push it back.

Thanks for the replies. I have a chamber that requires turning the necks and would like a little more tension than the rcbs dies provide. I have a 222 rem bushing neck die that I was thinking would work as long as I don't push the shoulder back. May look into the 223 as well.

If you already have a 222 bushing die, then use that. It will work fine.
