I was wondering if a 6mm remington is designed for a short action or long action
|
One reason 6mm Rem never really caught on is that it is really an
intermediate length cartridge, and is best suited for a long action. Remington put it in short actions, and caused issues with having to seat heavy bullets deep in order to work out of the 3.050" magazine box. I recommend a long action for a build, but if you have a short action, it can be made to work just fine.

Yes brass will be difficult if you want correct head stamped brass. If you want to form brass it can be made out of 7X57, 8X57, .257 Roberts brass as well

Remington makes brass for the 6mm Rem, it is available (I have a brand new bag of 100 downstairs in the shop). No loaded ammo, but brass is available. Or, as taylorce said, you can form it from several other cases, 7X57 or 257 Roberts would be easiest.
A fast twist barrel and Berger 115 grainers will shoot pretty flat! That would be the direction I would go.
