6x47 Lapua, Important please!

Hello everybody.

You see, here in Sweden we have a classification system for all rifle calibers that are allowed for hunting.
We have four different groups/classes and, depending on the ft-lbs, they are legal for different game.

For example, the 308 win is a class one caliber and that means it´s allowed for every species that you are allowed to hunt in Sweden.
But, for instance the 243 win is considered a class two caliber and then you are allowed to shoot game up to and including roe deer but not the biggest species like elk, bear and red stag.

Over to my problem, apparently I´m the first one in Sweden who wants to build a 6x47 Lapua, at least for hunting, and therefor it´s not classified yet. I talked to "the Man" in charge today, and he told me to send him all reloading data I have on hand and then he would help me out.
I have some data with 105 grain bullets but nothing with the lighter ones. So all the data with bullets in the 55-90 grain segment will be highly appreciated, and please include the velocity if possible.

Regards
Rolf, Sweden
 
I have talked to Robert, the gentleman who is responsible for that great website, but he hasn´t tried the lighter bullets.

So, if there´s someone out there who has just one load, with for example a 68 grain Br bullet. Please post the load here or send it to me by e-mail.

But once again, I need the speed along with the rest of the facts.
