Yeah I would have to go home and do that and take a measurement because I can't remember what that is at the moment.You can tell what size it is by sizing a piece of brass without the expander.

Have you tried a factory round in the chamber?You can tell what size it is by sizing a piece of brass without the expander.
No I have a fired piece of brass from the factory round that the Smith fired in the chamber. It is .003 shorter than my fire formed and resized Bertram brass from my old chamber so I need to bump the shoulder on my old brass back .005 to fit in the new chamber and have .002 clearance if that makes sense.Have you tried a factory round in the chamber?

Then You NEED to FL the brass. No if, and, but a about it. Otherwise you're gonna run into problems with cycling & accuracy. Hope you dont find this too be TRUE in the field after LOSING A TROPHY! TheosmithjrI already did fl size all 100 pieces and bumped the shoulder back .002 for the old chamber. They are now .005 too long to fit in the new chamber. I am just trying to avoid having to resize everything and expand the necks again just to bump the shoulder back if that makes sense. Redding doesn't make a body die for a 6.5 SAUM or I would just buy one of those.
I bought a Redding type s bushing die and plan to bump the shoulder back on all 100 rounds. With the right bushing installed I shouldn't have to expand the necks again at least. I will use these first 100 rounds to break in the barrel so accuracy isn't an issue as of now. Hopefully I can get my hands on some ADG brass soon.Then You NEED to FL the brass.
