I'm not a gunsmith, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Since the rim diameter of a .223 is 0.378" and the rim diameter of a .218 is 0.408", could a bolt face of a .223 be opened up to accommodate the .218 bee? Are there extractor issues going from rimless 223 to rimmed 218? Please enlighten me. I have an interest in this caliber (as well as .22 hornet) for sentimental reasons. Thanks for any help.
