Hi Patrick, I am assuming the 22 Creedmoor is a short action cartridge.
Do you know the cartridge overall length? You may need to make a spacer block for the magazine box to be able to feed from the magazine reliably.I did this with a winchester model 70 a few years ago that the customer had been bitten by the 6.5 Creedmoor bug and had already purchased a barrel from Shaw Barrels.
I rebarreled the rifle and nabbed a filler block for the mag from delrin and with some trial and error got the rifle feeding reliably.Then I used the delrin block as a pattern and duplicated the block in steel and tempered the part. The delrin would probably have been just fine but decided not risk it.
