I just went out to the range today (even though it just snowed 4" and I don't have a 4x4) and tested loads. I had only had 15 rounds down the barrel before that. I loaded 37.40, 37.50,37.60,37.80 and 38.0 The best one was 37.60. Shot a .450 group at 150 yards. I am going to do some more development around 37.60 to see if I can drink it down. My question is 37.60 too low of powder? I'm using h4350. I had no pressure signs at 38.0 should I try to go up?
 
My loads are as follows-
Lapua Brass 115DTAC .010" off lands 39.5 H4350 CCI450s 3020 via 27" Brux

Lapua brass 107SMK .010" off lands 38.5 H4350 CCI450s 2975 via 23.5" Bartlien

Awakening this old thread. In search of 6x47 load data. Need a good starting point and end point for:
105 Berger hybrid
110 smk
115 dtac

All will be with h4350 in a 7.5 twist 26” tube.

I plan to test 39.2; 39.5 of H4350 with RBT 115 DTAC this weekend. I have a brand new Hawk Hill 26 inch barrel to test it on.
 
Did you check the reloading depot (one forum below this one) for 6x47 loads? I saw a few with the various bullets you listed. I just started loading for this round and am using RL-16 but from my brief experience I started at 38.4 and found loads above 39.6 to have pressure signs. I'd start at 38.0 and work up to 39+ slowly.
