The old 6x47 has been out performed by many newer offerings, or do you actually mean 6x47 Lapua? A completely different cartridge, Cheers

The original Remington 6x47 was a 222 necked up to 6mm, bigrich may have made a typo. I had one which I swapped for a Winchester M70 in 225 Win that I still have but haven't fired since I bought the Tikka in 22-250, Cheers.

I thought it was 222 mag necked up

I had a 6x45 that shot 9000 rounds and would still hold .800 .

Looking for something between 223 and 6.5x55 for hunting in 24 or 25 cal.
I think you have your 6mm PPC, BR, and Dasher.
Sako 7x33 plus the ones above
