Standard 308 gauge, IIRC the 6.5CM is based off the 308 case - like my .260 is.
308 won't work. The shoulder is pushed back on the Creed so long bullets can be seated out farther rather than into the case (in a standard short action). That's why it's a different cartridge than the 260 Remington or older 6.5-308 wildcats.
Sorry, Speed3, I don't have. When I chamber something new, I'll rent them with a reamer from 4D.

I've spent 3 hours last night looking for one and No luck. PTG direct didn't have one either.
Maybe i can find a Smith locally that has one? Of not then I'll use a fired case as last resort.
Just for informational purposes, the 6.5 CM case is based off of the .30 TC.

And the 30TC traces it's lineage back to the 308Win as well.

But with the shoulder set-back, yeah a 308 gauge isn't going to work, so I stand corrected.
EABCo shows 6.5CM gauges in stock, $27 (Forster).

I found the eabco guage last night, when you go to check out it's backordered.
Thanks for the tip on 4D. Ok give them a shot. Barrel should be here soon, fingers crossed.
