Anybody here have any experience with the 6.5 br? Case forming, barrel lenghts, accuracy, etc.

Not with the BR itself.
If I was thinking about that class of cartridge I would surely go to the 6.5x47 Lapua cartridge.
No wildcatting required, and an awesome case. You also would get more performance from it than the 6.5 BR.

I have a MOA and XP100 chambered in 6.5 BR, both are tight necks so I had to turn the necks. I used Lapua 6 BR brass for the MOA and Remington 6 BR for the XP100. Forming the brass is real easy by running the 6 BR brass over a 6.5 mandrel. I use Redding bushing dies to resize the brass and is cheaper than having to buy 6.5 BR custom dies. If you need load data let me know and I can email Sierra's load data.
