221 brass from 222?

[ba19500]

I believe the 222 was the original starting case. Wouldn't it be better to use 222 brass and avoid 223 problems?

The 222 was the original case, but they are as expensive as 221 FB. That is why so many people use 223 brass. You can buy lots of quality 221 FB brass so why not just do that instead of futzing around with 222..

If you are talking 221 Fireball, neither would be "better". Lapua makes really good 221FB brass...
