Savage Action with 6 Dasher or 6 BR.?

[Yote Knutz]

Is there anyone using a Savage action and shooting a 6 Dasher or 6 BR/BRA? I have two rifles with Savage actions. One is on a MPA chassis and Bartlein barrel. The other is on a MDT chassis and Bartlein barrel. Both are in 6 Creedmoor. I’m wondering how the Savage will feed and eject the shorter rounds.

I have two target actions in 6BR so can't speak to feeding. But ejecting is spotty at best. I am always having to pull empty cases out of the action because they flipped around instead of ejected.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve heard that the Savage action does not like the short cases. Since I already have two actions and two chassis’, I was hoping others weren’t having problems.
