I have a 6.5x47. It is a .473 case head i.e. the same as a 6mmBR or .308Win
It was specifically designed by Lapua in conjunction with Grunig & Elmiger rifles to outperform the 6mmBR Norma in 300m CISM competition, which is a rapid fire version of the 300m standard match competition. However, it seems to also be delivering the goods all the way out to 1000yds and I'm sure will stay the course...

THAT's what I really wanted to hear. Built on the standard, shortened .308 case.
It should be a great ctg., very efficient.

Since we were getting 3,308fps with 120XLC's in Carol's (my daughter's) .260 CLC, before shortening it to .260 Rem, I might just improve the .260 to get the same ballistics again.

To me, the recoil felt the same as a normal .260 and 3,300fps with a 123gr. Match bullet might be the ticket for longer range shooting. I'ts not a match rifle, however seems to want to be consistant at about .350" with the Barnes solid copper bullets. It still makes the same accuracy with the 120's in it's current chambering of .260Rem., but has only a 9" twist. I suspect the shorter bullets are not going to demand a faster twist - we'll see.
