Is it a simple FLS pass through or is there steps ?
Reading a few various reports it might be 2 stage expander process??

And while here what's your opinion , Varget for 4895 for the 6x47 rem with 75-85 & 100 gr
Thanks

New brass, one pass through the fl die should do it. You have to move the shoulder back a little as well as open up the neck. Used brass, I'd probably try annealing it first. - dan

Forgot to add, get some Imperial Sizing Wax. As for powder, they both work. Varget meters better. - dan

To move that shoulder back, it looks a few MM ...or a fair step atleast.

Does this just happen in a FLS swipe Pass... Or am I missing something?

If it's new brass, put on a little imperial sizing wax on the case, and yes, one swipe through the FL die. It wont be perfect but when you fire it, it will fireform to the chamber. Used brass, it really depends how brittle it is. All you can do is try one and see. Right now, I'm going the other way, reforming some 222 Rem Mag brass that someone (bought a box of brass from an estate sale) already formed to 204. - dan
 
not a lot of us still playing with this old 6x47 rem,,glad to see it's still alive,i have a cool old target rifle made for a 722 action,a lucked into a couple good batches of 222 rem mag brass to use,but i also have another nice 722 in 222 rem mag,so i have to be carefull with the brass,at least there's .204 brass we can use that's easy to find,i'm just one who likes having the proper headstamp on my ammo,,i'd love to find some original 6x47 marked brass if anybody knows of some sitting on a shelf somewhere,after all.this was a very popular cartridge so good while,

I lucked into 100 of the federal 6x47 nickeled brass some years back, but it's pretty rare these days. I have two of the Rem 6x47 chambered rifles, a 40X and a 700 based build. Both are way more accurate than I am. It s great cartridge, trailing the 6 PPC by just a sliver in the accuracy department. - dan
