You'd have to set the shoulder back, not sure about trimming. MUCH easier to open .204 to .224 and just rock and roll. DF

Are any of you broke dicks paying attention here?!

You are ALWAYS going to be best served by taking notes and applying same. Hint. Laughing!...........

Are any of you broke dicks paying attention here?! Technically, I guess every piece of virgin brass fired for the first time is fire formed to the chamber. I never tried to make a .222 mag round out of a .204 case. Just look at the specs. I think the .22-204 shoulder is a bit forward of the .222 mag shoulder, thus the set back. aalf has posted photos of the differences, has done a lot of work with the .22-204. Do a search and you'll find those photos. DF

I don't think Al ever had a 222 Mag. case. One trip through an FL die, set up correctly, will give 110% positive headspace. 222 Mag, 222 Mag Ackley, and a 22-204 mock.
