22 Creedmoor on Dillon 550

Is anyone doing this? If so, what conversion kit did you use?

I don't think they make a specific 22CM kit, but it should be a 6,5 Creedmoor kit (#M or #1 shellplate, #1 locator buttons), plus a #A Powder funnel.

That's what I was thinking, too, but the 6 and 6.5 Creedmoor use two different kits so...

The 6 CM is the same kit as the 6BR - #1 plate and buttons with a 6PPC funnel. I have no idea why the 6,5CM kit runs a #M, I've been using the #1 for everything with a 473 bolt head/308 derivatives (6,5CM, 6CM, 6BRA, 8x57) with no issues.

Would it need a different funnel due to the neck diameter?

I assume you mean if you got a 6 or 6,5CM kit to use for 22CM - then yes, you would need the kit plus an additional funnel (probably a #A for 22 cals).

That’s perfect. I’m planning on using it for the 6br so I’ll only need to grab a funnel it sounds like.
