"Ok so if I only have one gun in 6arc (a bolt gun) once I resize 6.5 Grendel and fire it once or I fire a factory load if reusing in the same gun I should be able to just Trim the neck a little from necking down.
What the heck I will have the die in a few days and see what it does I will check and make sure it fits before loading "
Seems you are implying you may get by without sizing the body or pushing the shoulder back. If that is the case you are in for a learning curve.
You might get by with 1 or two firings without setting the shoulder back & body sizing. I would not bet on it. Guess I have learned the hard way & would like to save you the headache of not being able to close your bolt on a freshly reloaded round.
Guys that have done this a lot generally always, full length size every firing to insure the round chambers freely. The one, folks struggle with is you do not need to push the shoulder back a lot, (.010") A little is enough .002 head space clearance is optimum. Learning to measure & control the .002 head space clearance can be a learning curve. A learning curve worth doing IMHO.
