22 Mc Crea H.P.

I'm trying to find out about reloading for this caliber-I called RCBS for dies or info, but there's no ready answer, so their "odd calibers" fellow will call me back later.
Anyway, I would like any info you might have about this, so far, unknown chambering.
Thanks.

I would do a chamber cast and compare it to known cartridges. From the name, I would assume it is a modified 22 Savage Hi Power, but not necessarily. Start out by measuring the bore, rim size, head size, and case length. Get a copy of Cartridges Of The World as a reference.
