I finally broke down and started loading some of the 62 grain Varmint Grenade bullets I bought a year ago for my 6 x 47. I loaded up several loads and I ended up settling with 26.8 grains of H322 that was shooting around 3/4" at 100 yards. I noticed it was shooting just like some of my 65 grain V-Max loads with 27.0 grains of H322 so I decided to shoot a comparison. It looks like just three holes, but there are two there in the 65 grain V-Max target. As you can see, I will be able to switch between these two loads and not have to adjust my scope! It's great that I can pick up the rifle and the correct box of ammo for the area I am going to hunt and just go shoot.


I know there aren't a bunch of 6 x 47 shooters out there but I thought I would share my results in case anyone is looking.

Jeph, do you want my loaded 62 grain Varmint Grenade stuff for 6 x 47 when I leave?

[Jeph S]

absolutely since the likelyhood of you shooting it is slim to none!!

[smallblockfuelie]

Do we shoot the same powder and weight??

[Jeph S]

in the VG yes we do.

[smallblockfuelie]

Then I will give you this stuff now. If I need any I'll just bum some from you.

[Jeph S]

How many do you have? I'll at least swap you for the same number of primers....I mean, then I won't feel bad when I ask you to load up some more for me, LOL!!!

[smallblockfuelie]

I'm not sure. I'd guess 20-30.

[Jeph S]

well heck, that's not hardly worth me giving you any primers for. I say drop off the loaded ammo, and then give me 5 bucks to take it off your hands

[JimT]

Hey you two, you're not the only ones shooting the 6x47.

That's very considerate of you. Did I give you the last of my lead free garbage?

[Jeph S]

You sure did!

Good riddance! Hey, have you got any extra 17 Remington ammo loaded?

[Jeph S]

sure do! I'll load up some of the load that worked for your rifle that way you have some. I'm bringing my .17 only this weekend...and the shotgun

Nice! You taking the brake off?

[Jeph S]

negative. When it doesn't bother me when I'm shooting something, and you'll be behind me anyhow, so it's all good. i shot it night before last and it was no biggie.

[smallblockfuelie]

Roger that!

Too bad silencers aren't legal in CA

After the hole you made in that cat with that 6mm, I would say good call! Your not going to go pillage my honey hole are you

[smallblockfuelie]

Jeph didn't mention that he blew up a bobcat.

LOL!!! Dude, talk about a bad shot. Heath remember a few of those cats in TX that had shoulders missing? Well let's just say that this one is probably the worst I have ever had. He actually had his entire leg bone sticking out and his neck was about gone.

Robb just remember who told you where to go for that second cat!! j/k. there's plenty of room for everyone (just don't tell your friends and I'll take you a little further north next time :) LOL )

[smallblockfuelie]

Well stop shooting them on the shoulder!!

[Jeph S]

dude, I shot him in the neck sitting down. you could literally see through him!

So I guess the plan has changed and you'll be taking the 6 x 47?

[Jeph S]

Nope just the .17 and the shotgun. That little Nagel bullet is pretty cool.

[smallblockfuelie]

I have it on good authority that it has been traded!!
