Maybe somebody can steer me in the right direction to what this is.it is a chamber set up for breech seating.

Drawing obviously not to scale

Its appears to be an RKS-25 Schuetzen I believe that is what Ron Smith called it. It's made from a 357 Max case and then sized down. If memory serves me right he used a 223 sizing die to form the case but that could also be wrong. Try doing a search on this site it has been talked about in the past.

Scroll down to about Reply 10 on the below link that is where they start talking about the 25 RKS and how to form it using a 223 sizing die.

It's close but not quite, that's initially what I thought it was

I did notice the length being a bit different and not real sure if that makes a real difference. What I would do is to make a chamber casting and email it off to Ron to get his own comments of what he probably chambered it too.
