Chamber specs and die specs

Hi all
I have a factory 6.5 creedmoor which has a tighter chamber so factory dies would not work(bolt click difficulties chambering) ,thus I got a custom die based on the fired cases
I'm in the process of obtaining a reamer and I unfortunately don't the ability to cast the die
So the only reference that I have are sized and fired case my question is at the .200 thou line and at the shoulder body junction what should the clearance between a fired case and reamer dimensions be ?
 
I have a suggestion. Using some well worn brass, size a case or two with your new custom die, and order a reamer based on the clearances that you want to your sized brass. I have done this for several projects with good success. The main thing is to get the shoulder diameter and .200 line diameters right on the reamer.
