Coyotejunki,

Have you handloaded the .223 Remington much? The same powder charges and bullets work for the .222 Magnum, because there's hardly any difference between the two cases. You might have to add a half-grain of powder to charges when loading the .222 Magnum, but depending on brass weight maybe not.
