A 6.5x47 shooting 140's at 2800+ is a stout load and a long barrel. I have pushed the Creed pretty fast with N550 and 147's nearing 2900 in a 26" barrel, but brass life is short. My current match load has them doing 2750 over 41.3 H4350 and I can easily get to a mile and on good days in the right location have stretched them a ways past that. Speed isn't everything.
