204 Ruger might work, aren't they the same length?

Yes. The 204 Ruger was based off of the the 222 RM.

Nosler has 222 Mag brass in stock, if you want the easy button.

I would make it out of 204 before i bought Nosler.
Never had any luck with it and its too expensive.

In OAL?
I thought 223 was about .060 longer.

.223 is 0.060" longer than the standard .222, but it is 0.090" shorter than the .222 Rem Mag (1.850").
