[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1194108, member: 41338"] 6x47: A very popular round among the pros. I imagine compared to the 6.5... maybe flatter shooting, shorter barrel life, less recoil, must form the brass. Never shot one but I imagine it's like a hot 243 with a heavy bullet. I kinda favor the more standard calibers. There's more than enough to keep me occupied and you can buy brass with the correct headstamp. The 6.5x47 is a kitten to shoot but I'm sure the 6x47 is too. Personally, if I was to shoot a 6mm, I'd just go 243. Great caliber and great choices for brass at good prices that are usually available. Course you might want a custom barrel for the heavies but the 6mm holds it's own just fine till it gets windy. [/QUOTE]
