Although I do not yet own 6.5x47 I've done tons of research and after looking into it from all the different sides and comparing it with other calibers, I always came back to 6.5x47.
A big thing about 6.5x47 is that it is not barrel burner. You'll go 2,000 to 3,000 shots without new barrel. And that is only something that .308 can offer, while .308 is far less accurate. Second thing is you'll be a king of the world up to 600 yards and possibly up to 1,000 yards. And the third thing there are excellent, consistent and sturdy Lapua cases out there, just waiting to be reloaded many many times. OK, fourth, you can use it for plinking targets, since recoil is really on the low side. And there is a ton of good reloading info that will get you started. And there are some realy good bullets, with BC above 0.55 so you'll definitelly be in the top 5%.
On the downside, you won't be able to shoot moose. Some big bucks would be illegal in most countries. But medium sized deer, coyote, prairie dogs etc. are all at your mercy.
