FINALLY!!! Tikka Left Handed 223's

Mine should be coming this Thursday! Pumped. Lapua 223 brass delivered tomorrow. Never thought i’d buy Lapua 223 however here we are
 
Picked mine up. This thread said the T3X .223 magazines had a steel liner. That is a negative on these. Both my T3 and T3x .223 have the same plastic magazine.
 
Question - what are the most optimal Tikka lefty calibers you could convert to a 223 caliber with a barrel swap? Just exploring my options to get a trainer up and running.

Buy a .308 action and send it to kampfeld customs to have a bushing put into the bolt face. You can sometimes find the .223 barrels from take offs on J&A outdoors. There are 2 16” blued 1-8 twist barrels for $150

What do you lose in distance/accuracy going from a 20' to a 16' barrel length?
 
Doesn’t matter just shoot. Most cartridges it is ~25ft/sec per inch. These setups are used for reps and high round count to learn wind calls and for trigger time.
