[QUOTE="James H, post: 214869, member: 5449"] First let me say my response is based on the assumption that you are talking about the 6.5x47 Lapua necked down to 6mm, not the 222 Rem Mag necked up to 6mm(both of which are known as the 6mmx47). Yes I believe those velocities are reasonable with a 6x47L shooting 70gr bullets. I switched from the 70gr SMK to the 75gr V-Max in my 6mmBR, my accuracy load with it is at 3550 fps (if memory serves me and I think it does)using H-322 in a 24" barrel. Accuracy has been very good. The 6x47L is really better suited to heavier bullets but if you want to shoot the mid weight 6mm bullets have at it but personally I don't think that the 6x47 has any advantage over the 6BR until you start pushing 100+gr bullets.
