the 222 magnum was the base case for this round.what velocity can you expect from a 22 inch barrel with 60 to 68 grain bullets in general

I have an old Speer reloading manual(number 10) with loads for the 6X47mm on the .222 Remington Magnum case. The lightest bullet shown is a 75gn with speeds of mid 2900's to a little over 3000fps. The fastest load listed for the 75gn bullet was 3049fps using 25.0gns of RE7. The rifle used a 1-12twist bbl and it wasn't clear what the barrel length was,but it was a Remington 40-XB-BR...Federal cases...CCI-BR4 primers.the 222 magnum was the base case for this round.what velocity can you expect from a 22 inch barrel with 60 to 68 grain bullets in general
A friend of mine had a Shilen DGA chambered in 6X47(called 6T by some people)and he shot some amazingly small groups using 65gn bullets......
one group in particular was a .022" 5 shot group. I don't know what powder he used. He later rebarreled the rifle to 6PPC. I hope this information helps you. Good luck and stay safe.

Cleaning out my Father's reloading room I found some 6x47 Federal Nickel brass. Talk about a blast from the past.
