[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2177504, member: 10755"] Mike Walker, the inventor of the 222, has said, that just like the 50BMG is a scaled up version of the 30-06, the 222 is a scaled down version of the 30-06. I actually load mine to match the 223, it’s only a couple of grains over and the brass handles the extra pressure without issue. Otherwise, all that neck space goes to waste. Lol. Have checked it over the Pressure Trace every time I have changed powder lots (748) and it always stays around 55,000psi-58,000psi. Could push it more but no real need. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
