22 Creedmoor Lee Deluxe Quick Trim die or 6.5 Creedmoor

[7Miller]

This may, or may not be a silly question.

I use the Lee Deluxe Quick Trim Die when prepping brass for my 7mm-08.
I have a 22 Creedmoor being built but it's not as easy to get the Lee Die for 22 Creedmoor..... So, my question is: Can I just use the 6.5 Creedmoor die because the brass is the same length?

I feel the answer is yes, just use a 6.5cm die, but would like to check with those who know far more than I do.

Many Thanks

I don’t know, but, I have more than one of those in different cals and the hole at the top of the dies is the same dia in each. I don’t mean the hole for the neck, just the big hole at top.
As the actually trimmer blade fits all I don’t see why you can’t use one die as long as the case bodies are the same.
I would give it a go, not much to lose.

That's my thinking Ken. You use the same cutter for EVERY size cartridge and it's just the die body you change per cartridge. So, with the 22CM just being a necked down 6.5CM, it made sense to me that a 6.5CM will also be perfectly fine for the 22CM.
