FWIW, the Lee 6.5mm Creedmore collet die works fine with 6.5x47 Lapua cases....

And before I could complete the post, the window timed out and I got the "you can no longer edit or delet this post".......so in case anyone saw the first bit and ordered a Lee collet die, you need to check that the decapping pin isn't too big to fit the flash holes.
The 6.5 Creedmore die that I got from Lee had a fat decapping pin that jammed the first time I tried it, so it needed grinding down a bit.
Just shove the mandrel in a drill and rotate the pin against a bit of grindstone until it's a loose sliding fit in the flash hole in a new 6.5x47 case.
Once rectified, the die works a treat.
