Sierra TMK bullets have provided me with some additional testing for smaller cartridges such as your 6x47.
I built a smaller frame rifle on a Model Seven as a lightweight hunter for a young man to use for his first deer hunt with the 6x47 and the 95 gr. TMK. I tagged along just for the autopsy and a look at the reminder of the bullet. He made an excellent 90 yard shot taking out the top of the heart but no bullet was recovered.
Treading lightly, you could start at about 38 gr. of Re-17 and work your way up. This is the powder I normally load with this bullet. However, much to my amazement, Win. 760 was and excellent choice also. I found that Norma URP was right in the same group but started at a lower charge weight.
