.222 mag

I just aquired a remington 700 adl .222 mag and I am having trouble finding ammunition. I know these guns are almost obselete. Is my only option reloading or can you guys help me find some shells. Also, Isnt a .222 mag a .223 casing necked down and trimmed?

No. The 223 is the 222 Mag shortened. You can't reverse this. In a word, you can't make 223 ammo into 222 Mag cases.... The brass is probably still available somewhere though
