Yup, in recent times against 6mm’s and 30’s. I’m not saying it’s the holy grail, it’s a solid round that can and does win.

I can’t post a link but the 2007 NBRSA 600 nationals was won with a 6.5x47, R-15 and 130 JLK’s
It’s on the old 6mm BR website, Guns Of The Week #79.

The 300 SAUM Improved is a slightly smaller round/cartridge than a 300 wsm?

300 SAUM Imp

I am trying the 300 SAUM Imp after seeing posts from Sam Hall and Tom Mousel. So far, it has been impressive. Alex Wheeler converted my 2K BAT M dual port into a true heavy gun for next year at Deep Creek. Alex did his magic with the ignition, firing pin fall, and spring dampening and put it in...

I seem to remember it was used by the 2021 IBS 600 SOY winner, if not last year the year before.
I shot it some about three years ago and had some good (for me) results. The 6's (BR, BRA, Dasher, etc) just rule IBS 600 these days. You rarely see anything else.
The one thing you'll find is, if you're prone to use them now, the 6.5 custom bullet market is nil and no one is making them. I still have about 500 BIB 135 grain bullets but, at last check, are no longer available.

i have vapor trails on order, i have 140 and 135s onhand..thanks

6.5mm Precision BTHP Bullet - Vapor Trail Bullets

Our 6.5mm bullet is relatively new to the shooting world but is already causing a stir among top Benchrest Shooters wanting a bigger bullet.

Not sure what powders you have available. I shot RL16 with 123 SMK (newer pointed version). It shot very well and I placed in a couple matches but it is bulky. I had a compressed load and still didn't get to where I wanted to be as far as velocity or ability to move up if needed.
H4350 and Varget are good choices but, if you have it, I really think the new RL15.5 could be a great choice.

 

[SHall]

Shoot4fun is dead on with his comments! Seth Wooten (2021 IBS 600 SOY) shoots a 6.5x47 occasionally and does very well in group and score against some great shooters. I personally have never got one to group like something on the BR case at 600. I have won score with one though. We shoot for group and score, and unless you can do great at both, you are middle of the pack. I have been tempted to pull my barrel out and try one last time and tweek it though. Samuel Hall

Back 15 years ago, seems like I remember the 6mm Rem AI and 243 AI winning a few matches before the 6 BR family took over. Not dominant, but were being shot even at the 1,000 yard matches
