[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2724646, member: 111593"] Nic, The original 6x47 was a benchrest cartridge. Based upon the 222 rem mag case, necked up to 6mm. It preceeded the 6 PPC in popularity and records for accuracy at 1, 2 and 300 yd BRest. It was a wildcat cartridge (no factory ammo). The 6x47 Lapua is also a wildcat cartridge (maybe now factory available).and is made from 6.5x47 Lapua brass. It is a fine deer cartridge as well as a mid- longrange benchrest/varmint cartridge. The 6x47 Lapua will handle 100gr bullets very nicely if properly twisted. [/QUOTE]
