There's no real difference to speak of. Both are capable of up to 3100fps with heavies and make 2950fps easily with good case life with approximately the same amount of powder burned. The real difference is availability. You can buy 6CM ammo off the shelf at extremely well stocked stores and online as it's made by several manufacturers as loaded ammo. You cannot buy 6x47L from any store shelf I've ever seen and I don't know of any large outfit manufacturing factory ammo for it. Both are in the same zone of performance as a 6XC. I went the 6XC route and only use 115gr DTAC's.
