Building a rifle off a defiance anti action with a WTO switch lug, if you're not familiar it turns any action into a terminus Zeus like setup or any other quick change barrel action system.. no action vise just hand tight and set screw ..

Where I'm caught up is I was originally going LA with a XLR element 4.0 mg chassis they offer Sa,xm, and la .. being that I can just switch a barrel in under a minute and swap bolts I was envisioning going from a 300 prc to a 6.5 creedmoor.

Then I got the reality check that most likely will have feeding issues with a 6.5 creedmoor or 308 in a LA with a controlled feed action and AICS mag. Then found the LRI spacer but the XLR element 4.0 runs a aICS mag and the site says this spacer is for tikka mags.. if only they made one for aics mag

The the question now is if I build on an xm and settle on a 7 Saum or 300 wsm(hunting ) can I still get reliable feeding on a 6.5 creedmoore or 308(target) ? Also I've seen accurate mag also now makes an aICS la action mag for Sa rounds .. might solve my problem. But I keep reading a controlled feed round can be trickyer than a push feed

Anybody have experience running a xm action with SA rounds? Or a long action with these mags from accurate mag ? Granted they are for xm length in LA not SA in LA …
