Hey Chris,
What do you mean by flashing? Hitting it with light before I develop it? And
what's this about using "non diluted stock solution"?
What about steps to just processing it as the negative roll?

Hi,
D-76 as a reversal developer for *222 will probably be too low in contrast. One
method you may want to look into is using the stock solution (non-diluted) and
processing at a higher temperature to yield greater contrast. Generally
speaking higher concentrations of B&W developers = more contrast.
On the chemistry side you may consider adding a bit more Hydroquinone and/or
adding Potassium Bromide for increasing contrast/reducing fog. D-19 had more
Hydroquinone in it and was a preferred high-contrast developer for home
reversal processing. D-76 has no restrainer, so the Bromide should help in
clearing things up a bit. Both are widely available through Photographer's
Formulary and their distributors (Adorama, B&H, Freestyle, Amazon, etc..).
You could also do some tests with flashing the film to compensate for the lower
ISO, this can be done after film has been exposed as long as it's before it has
been processed. Either way I believe the film is/will be underexposed. I think
you'll either have to flash the film or push it. Flashing might keep it from
getting as grainy as push processing, but I'm just speculating as I've never
done it.
Keep us posted on your results, I have a bunch of 7222 sitting around myself.
Chris
