The 6.8 SPC should work with No Problem. All of my Savage actions are short actions. Get yourself a .223 bolt head, have it opened up to fit the 6.8 case, spin on a 6.8 SPC barrel and you're ready to go shooting!
Mine was built mostly because there wasn't that much info about the 6.8 SPC on a bolt gun platform and I wanted to see how it would work. Sounded like a good enough reason to me? And remember, it's a Savage so it can be just about anything you want.
I went with the SPC rather than the SPC II. Shorter throat so I could jam my bullets into the lands. And I went with the lighter bullets for starters and will go heavier as the throat wears. 90s and 100s will get me a 5 shot group, from the bench that I can cover with a dime or real close. A little holdover without any scope changes and I can hit steel out to 440 yards, 10 out of 10 times. SSA small primered brass and mild mid range loads and my brass lasts a long time. I went with single loading so no feeding issues. Should feed from a .223 mag as a single stack? HTH, Mike.
