Not many here will remember the old 6x47.
As you said, the 222 mag necked up to 6mm.
At one time it was fairly popular as a varmit class benchrest cartridge.
Remington even chambered the 40x rifles for it.
Of coarse the PPC cartridge caused the demise of that and many others.

Some won't even remember the 222 magnum :)
