I'm waiting on my 6.5x47. Same case with small rifle primers. I've loaded up some test rounds with CCI 400, but bought 1000 CCI 450 small rifle magnums. MIne is going to be a hunting rifle. When you compare the x47 case next to a 6.5CM, 6.5x55, 6.5x57 it looks kinda small and I think a small rifle standard primer will be fine. But when you put it next to other small rifle primer cases like .222 and .223 the x47 case looks huge and I think I'd better run magnums through winter for reliable ignition. I'll shoot the test loads at the range (CCI 400) but then switch to the CCI 450s for all other loads just to be sure I guess.
