I believe it's a necked down 6.5x47 Lapua, which is a shorty based on a 308 size case head.

I knew there was a reason I chose the 6x45!  That and I had about 3000 .223 Rem empty cases in a box and 4 222 Rem magnum cases..Made since at the time, still does!

So short answer no they are not the same. Not even close!

The Lapua uses small rifle primers but as stated has the .473" head size.

The 6x47Rem is based on 222 Rem Mag case, it was a good benchrest cartridge before the 6PPC. The 6x47 Lapua come from the 6,5x47Lapua which has the same case head as 308. The 6,5x47 Lapua evolved from the 6x47SM so we can say the 6x47 Lapua is a finn version of the 6x47SM.
These cartridges are very close to the 6-250 or 6mm International. They are made specially for target shooting and CISM competition were they stand wind better than 6mm Norma BR without 308 or 6,5x55 recoil and with better feeding motion in rapid fire events than the 6mm Norma BR. Close to David Tubb's 6mmXC too....
