I'm gathering parts for a "light-weight" 7-300wsm build. I've ordered so far:
Defiance Deviant Hunter XM action, full nitride, .750 bolt.
Proof 1:8, 26" sendero contour
Manners LRH stock, M-5 bottom inlet
My plan has been to run a hawkins or APA bottom metal and MDT mag. I keep getting pushed toward the BDL bottom metal, folks are telling me they've had horrible luck getting mags to feed. I have time to change things now before they arrive, if I need to. My biggest hang-up is the BDL box offers less COAL, enough to impact my seating depth significantly.
So my question, for those who have been down this road, what problems did you have and were you able to correct them? Does any particular bottom metal and mag combo work better than others?
I really appreciate any first-hand insight.
