I would stick with a 223 and if I wanted/needed more range I'd go to a 22 creed or 22 arc.
I have a 223ai and love it. Zero issues with fire forming, most loads stayed half moa and was great practice for my kids. Less case stretch, nobody will get ammo confused and slightly improved velocity. With that said, the 22arc is intriguing (nearly built one as a wildcat before it was announced) but I don't know of any good brass options.
Alpha makes arc brass
That I did not know. Haven't researched it since I gave up the idea. I honestly believe that would be one of the best 22 cals around. Good barrel life, great case design and good overall ballistics depending on bullet used. Throw a 75eld or 85.5 Berger in there (won't leave out the smk) and we would be talking. I'm not rebarelling over it but I love the idea.
80/88 eldm or 77 tmk would be my go to

As does hornady. Midsouth had it in stock recently.
Lots of people make the arc brass, but quality brass is the issue. I don't have anything against Hornady brass, but it's not what I would consider top brass.
Can confirm. Find your favorite name brand 6.5 Grendel brass, run it through your 22ARC die and like magic you will have 22ARC brass. It's as easy as it gets
