How much can I take off 6.5x47 neck?

My 6.5x47 Lapua chamber is cut with a 0.293" neck diameter. My loaded rounds measure 0.290".

I'd like to turn the necks down a little to uniform the tension a little more. I'm comfortable running 0.004"clearance, which is what I'm using on my .284 rounds, but that doesn't allow me much clean up.

Do you think 0.005" to 0.006" is too much? What's the max clearance you would go? Thanks!
 
I don't know about the 6.5x47L but my .284 has .008 between loaded round and the chamber. Some of my brass has 10 reloads on them and still shooting good at 500 yards.
