My new barrel was called 6.5 wsm by previous gunsmith owner.
He did not say any thing about pushing should back that much. I just got a set of lee dies
I am using 270 WSM brass, per smith. He actually used redding 270 bushing die with the correct bushing for 6.5 bullet.
Here is a picture if mine, they have not been fired, but that is FL sized
They chamber well.

I believe the OP has had a custom chambering that uses a shorter case. Makes sense since a 6.5 WSM does not need the case capacity of a 270 WSM.

Looks like a 7mm rsaum necked to 6.5 to me.

Get a Full length type S Redding 270 WSM die and shave .080" off the bottom, install a neck bushing suited for 6.5, and run brass in the die. Then expand necks with your neck turning expanding mandrel and then neck turn. After all that is done, trim, chamfer, deburr, and load.

I have done it hundreds or times and you will have a much easier time with Norma brass than Winchester because it's softer.
Good luck.
