As I grow older, Ive really come to appreciate the less is more theorys. And that is exactly why I chose the Grendel in the first place. Just looking to shoot lighter bullets that a 90gr. 6.5.
OK, Perhaps I am wrong. It is just that you seem to be looking at altering a .473 bolt face to .441 along with needing a magazine box alteration to get your short action to feed 6mm ARC hopefully reliable.
If you are sold on 6mm ARC Id encourage you to find a smoother / more compatible action. Something originally made to feed 7.62x39, 6.5 Grendel or one of the PPC offerings would be a lot more straight forward. Howa mini or CZ 527 actions are the ones that stand out to me though there are certainly others.
CZ 527 was my choice, went from 7.62 x 39 to 6.5mm Grendel Then a barrel swap to 6mm ARC. Just hoping to keep your cost in check. Perhaps there is something I am overlooking.
