Yes I had one in a 14" Tender barrel. I never could find a powder bullet  combo that would perform to my liking. My personal opinion is the 6.5JDJ is WAY better choice!!!!! My 6.5BRM was way out classed by my 6.5JDJ.

Another nod for the 6.5 JDJ! My 14" SSK is an absolute hammer, running 36.0gr of IMR 4350 over a Federal 210 primer, it kicks a 129gr Hornady SST at 2250fps. Round is more accurate than I, sub-moa at 300 plus yards (off the bipod) and makes short work out of anything on the receiving end.

Give JD a call.  He did this barrel for my son and it literally shoots one hole groups from the bench at 100 yards.  I haven't shot it further than that in my limited time with it but its really hard to tell that more than one round went through the holes sometimes.  Incredibly accurate.
