MDT makes an AICS mag that should work, the round seems to fit in the Bighorn Origin action ... not a lot of room to spare but it fits ... please share what success or problems you've had doing this.

Plenty of people do this. You’ll be COAL limited by your magazine length if you reload.
You might have to notch your feed ramp. Here is some reading. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/notching-a-remington-700-feed-ramp.6323173/

We a 6.5 SAUM on a SR3 short action. Mark at SAC notched the feed ramp, it's been a hammer though. Launching 143s at 3075.
Thanks for the tip on the feed ramp. I'm glad I asked!
I have a zermatt Origin s/a chambered in 6.5prc, it was giving me feeding issues at first so I had a friend notch the feed ramp on his mill and ever since it has ran perfectly!
A buddy of mine also notched his as well to run 6.5prc to improve feeding reliability.
Edit: I am also running the MDT aics short mag magazines with great success!

Just received my barrel last week from another member on here, Bartlein. I torqued it on an impact SA in an MPA chassis. While i haven't had chance to shoot it yet, just cycling it with ammo it feeds fine. Only thing is, the loaded ammo is not ejecting properly. I ran some empty casings thru it and it ejects fine. I'll see what happens when i shoot it
