The 6.5BR is often used in unlimited pistols to tip over steel animals.
A high point in my IHMSA career was becoming the Unlimited Standing Champion at the 2009 internationals held at Fort Stockton Texas.
The handgun in 6.5BR was a rear grip Rampro with a high rise mount topped with a Leupold rifle scope. I also used that same gun to bag a nice Wyoming antelope.

Howdy !
Just an observation:
While 6BR dies are a commonly stocked item w/ many die makers, any 6.5BR stuff will basically be considered " custom ".
To come up w/ a 6.5BR " case forming " die, I had a 6BR form die converted to 6.5mm by a local machine shop; that used a " boring bar.

A failure to plan is a plan for failure.
We have a really good shooter at our local range, a very smart guy, that went into the 6.5 BR as a scaled up 6 PPC. He's given up on it in favor of the 6 PPC and 30 BR. His web site was http://www.65BR.com
If you are shooting it in a rifle, I suggest looking at the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5x47 Lapua before pulling the trigger, pardon he pun, on a 6.5 BR. Pistol? I have no clue.
Now, I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I'm familiar with going down new-ish paths and am of the opinion that you should exhaust well-used roads first.
