Luckily I still have a few boxes of .222 bullets by Hornady and when I find them I buy .223 size 40 and 45 gr jacketed bullets(usually Sierra for some reason)made for the older Hornet bbls. Even have a couple boxes of Sisk .223 bullets. I happen to have a Savage 219 with that smaller bore. I really don't load the Jet any longer as I have about 10 boxes loaded. Probably will not shoot all of them up.

...you have a Savage 219 in .22 Jet...wow..that was one of my dream guns..
Once met a guy who had the set of three Marlin Leveratics... .22 Jet, .256 Winchester and .357 Magnum... He said they were going to be given to each of his three sons...
