I had the 6x47 based off the 222 mag case.
Very accurate cartridge, low recoil.
In todays world the 6BR would be a much better choice.

80 or 85 grain cup and core kills deer dead.

Absolutely, I’m already shooting the 6ppc as my benchrest rifle and a other 6ppc for varmint! Tried the H335 & N133 but im not satisfied yet, On my way to try it out with the H322, will see..

Of course!! How about the BLC2? Twist and length of your barrel?

I had an autoloader in 6x45, so I was limited in bullet selection based on OAL, also limited even further by a 14 twist barrel. I didn't have enough time to start load development before it was banned. Was going to be a fun little project.

I own both. The 6x47 is more accurate with appropriate bullet weights. I have the parts here to put a 6x45 together, but haven't got around to it yet. - dan
