6.5x47 and measuring shoulder bump

[Siso]

I FL size my brass and normally use the RCBS precision Mic. The problem is that RCBS doesn't make one in a 6.5x47. I was wondering what everyone uses to measure how much the shoulder has been bumped?

Would the .243 mic work since the .243 and 6.5x47 both have 40 degree shoulders?

I think the 47 case has a 35 deg shoulder? What i do is run the chamber reamer in the piece of the barrel that is cut off when fitting the blank to the action. I can make them up for 30$ plus shipping.

Yea NotAGuru you are right...I don't know what I was smoking! According to the 6mmbr website the 47 has a 30 deg and the .243 has 20 deg. At least there is something that I can try.

Thanks!
