well,its taken you blokes four years, but I have come up with the answer myself
Attachment 52290

Do I even need to look at the numbers to work outs it's a 270!!

[Ryan_Songhurst]

Well I was goung to call it the 6.8-06 but yes I suppose you could call it that

When you analyse the .270 calibre in detail you come across an interesting fact

.270 in metric is 6.858 mm

And a .284 (7mm) is 7.2136


So a .270 is closer to 7mm than what a 7mm is


Not sure what my point is

Your point is that everyone who says "7mm is the best, bla bla bla bla" is making a fool of themselves whilst at the same time being absolutely correct

Precisely

Plenty of good 6XC brass around now.


Anyone contemplating or using a 7x47 yet ?

Yes. After reading the article on accurate shooter where he cuts a barrel down from 32" to 16" in 2"sections it made me think.

The speeds he was getting from the 168VLD is basically the same as what I can get out of my 20"708 with 162 amax's.

There's not much info out there though.
Does anyone have any experience with one?

I like the look of a 7mm creedmore over a 7x47 slightly better capacity and could go improved as well though not much of a gain capacity wise. like the x47 the creedmore is considerably shorter than an 08 case and will allow pointy pullets to be seated to the lands even in shorter actions like the model 7 that won't take an extended wyatts mag. If you want to get fancy you can form the brass from lapua .308 and you can even use the palma brass so you can go small primers. It was originally called 7mm GPC. I have a model 7 in 7-08 impossible to get 140 nosler bts to feed out of the mag and get within coo-ee of the lands. I trim the plastic tips with a meplat trimmer so I can get to 50 thou off. If I ever have silly amounts of disposable income I would rebarrel and do it. An expensive proposition by the time you get reamer and dies sorted. I wild-catted a 7 saum mod 7 by shortening the chamber 200, and shortening dies, and getting a form die still cost considerable $
