I have been shooting it for a few years in competition and have burnt out two barrels with the chambering. My complaint all along has been the Hornady brass - it plain sucks. Plus the neck is a bit forward for the 140 grain Berger Hybrid. I am very intrigued by the new Lapua brass using the small primer, and have some to try out, but the 6.5x47 fixed all the problems the Creedmoor set out to fix, and in a more efficient manner. The CR is successful because it was marketed well and all the fuss Hornady put behind it, not because it is the best 6.5 short action chambering.
