I recently started reloading .222 Remington after a several year
hiatus . Since .222 brass is fairly hard to source and .223 is almost
layin' around on the ground everywhere I've been resizing .223 cases .
Resize and deprime in one operation , then trim cases to length and
turn the outside of the necks . Last step in prep is to deburr the case
neck and primer pockets - every .223 case I've sized down has had a
crimped primer . From there it's just prime charge and seat a bullet . I
haven't done much sorting of brass yet , but do plan on separating the
5.56 headstamps from the .223's since there are slight differences in
capacity . Or so they say . If this rifle (Remington 722 vintage 1960
with Leupold 3-9 and a Timney trigger) will drive tacks with unsorted
brass it may not be worth the effort . We'll see what the owner has to
say after some testing .

Back when I was really into rifle shooting I used to weigh the brass
filled with water and segregate them into groups with identical or
nearly identical capacity. It did, generally speaking, increase
accuracy, of say a 10 round match, a tiny bit.

I think this one is going to be a plinker/groundhog rifle . Anything
under a couple MOA is probably going to be acceptable . Maybe not the
ultimate goal ... as I understand it this cartridge was known for
extreme accuracy , at one time the "gold standard" for benchrest
shooters . My folks had one when I was a teen and even with iron sights
and factory ammo it was pretty accurate . I think this rifle is going to
well under a MOA by the time we find the right load .
