[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 441795, member: 15748"] Brass is never a problem here, since we (Lapua) still load ammunition and offer cases for the venerable 222 Rem. Even aside from this, you can always make the brass out of 223 Rem cases. Had an couple army buddies who bought T/C Contenders in 222 back in '78 or thereabouts. Army pay being what it is, I don't recall that either of those guns ever fired a factory 222 case. Virtually everything they shot was refromed from 5.56 brass. I don't think there was even a forming die involved; push the shoulder back, trim to length, and you've got yourself a 222 case. A truly grerat and classic cartridge. Be a real shame to rechamber it to something more pedestrian. [/QUOTE]
