Nope.  The 6.8 SPC is almost 3/8" shorter.  Remington makes seasonal runs of 30 Rem so it is still available.  Supposedly you can turn off the rim of a 30-30 case and cut an extractor groove but...

Thanks !! I just thought since the 30 remington was the parent case for the 6.8 that it could be reversed . I didn't know the dementions of the 6.8. Thanks a lot.  Zacharoo

IF you need .30 Rem or .32 Rem brass, we carry and sell them both.
