What bullets and do you want to feed from the mag?

Re: 6mm Remington
It will work with factory ammo, 6mm in factory rifle was always done on a short action. If you want to seat bullets way out as a reloader, then that is something to consider.

Re: 6mm Remington
With the bullets you describe, you will be fine in a S/A. Its when you jump up to the 105s, 107s, 115s, that mag constraints will become an issue.

I got a lead on a Savage 6mm barrel if you haven't already picked one out. PM me for details.

Don't mess with the 6mm Rem in this case - go to the 6mm/22-250. You can re-use your existing brass - just neck it up to 6mm with one pass of a tapered expander. You can run 107s and 115s mag length at or under 2.800" COAL no problem. Redding sells the dies. Lots of reamers floating around out there for it. One of the most standard wildcats you'll come across, also known as the 6mm International.

Re: 6mm Remington
The 6mm Rem. will work fine.
If your using a standard spec. reamer it has a nice throat diameter but the throat is on the long side.
I shot a 6mm Rem. for about a dozen years as a long range round. My reamer though I shortened the throat about approx. .070" so the base of a 107 Sierra is at the base of the shoulder junction.
My o.a.l. is approx. 2.975" with a 107's.
You could shorten up the throat a little more if you wanted.
