I shoot a Hart 26" 1-10" in 6x47, mainly 70-75's. Frankly I can't think of a reason to shoot a 1-12 with this caliber.
6x47 twist suggestions?

My Kimber of Oregon M84 (lefty no less) 6x47 sports a 10 twist and even though mag constraints limit me to the 70-85ish grain bullets I wouldn't wish for a slower twist.
The 70NBT and the 80TTSX both shoot superbly from this rifle and the speeds I'm getting with H335 out of the 22" tube are pretty impressive for such a diminutive case.
The 70NBT leaves at well over 3200 and the 80TTSX goes just under 3000.
I wouldn't hesitate for a second on any WT within 300 yards using either bullet.

I went with a Douglas 21" (1-9") Remington Sporter weight barrel. Mine is set up mainly for Whitetails.
Its shoots the Speer 80 grain Deep curl to 2,820 fps.
The Sierra 85 grain Gameking JHPBT to 2,730 fps. (Killed a buck at 200 yards last week with this bullet, awesome performance).
Nosler 95 grain CT Ballistic Tips to 2,570 fps (Most accurate load so far). Was hoping to hit 2,600 fps with the 95 grainer.
