l can see other cals suited for the application as well including the dasher or 300wsm but for the sake of moving this rifle on there is no gain in investing in a new reamer and or barrel when the OP already has a setup that will perform very well and sell in this area, the money has already been spent
for the sake of selling it may be wise to find a buyer and ask if they would prefer a 6.5x284 or 6.5 creedmore
l hate it when l hear that someone may need to sell there pride and joy, l hope l'm not reading to much into this

A couple were just into F Class and my wife said that she could do that.
So I asked around and talked to a few and one Gunsmith said use the 6.5-284, it will clean them up.
So I bought a Rem 700, stuck it in an AICS chassis. Scrapped the plastic side stock bits and made an F Class flat bottom rig and the Gunsmith chambered a new SS barrel in 6.5-284. I bought a bunch of Lapua brass and Sierra Projectiles and case preparation stuff and she went on to win several Masters games comps and gave our guys a run for their money (Only female shooter)
Now about 5 barrels and 20 years later she had to give it up much to her disappointment.
I put the last 4 barrels in myself as I bought a reamer.
I have a new SS 6.5 barrel here and as my wife is not shooting anymore and I might need to sell the rifle, should I rechamber in 6.5-284 or just sell as is as it seems it is not so popular any more and the buyer might like it in 6.5 Creedmoor or something else.
Problem is I have a heap of new brass for it and case prep tools and dies that would then go to waste.
I am leaning towards just rebarreling in the 6.5-284 again , but is it still a viable competition round even though it is hard on barrels?

Tell me she hunted gutted her own game, then tries to push you out of the kitchen to wash up and I’ll explode with jealousy. Hang on to the memories mate - ageing can be cruel, the alternate usually worse.
I agree with MM 100%. I’d try and retain what it is. You say you might try F class one day...mate - today is here. Go sign up. Maybe your wife could spot or be involved another way...
