Looking to get into longer range shooting this year and wondered…what is preferred between controlled feed and push feed? I have only ran push feed in my short action comp guns.
Control or push feed for ELR?

I run a Defiance Deviant Tactical.....and you will see a wide variety of actions on match day. It doesn't matter...the guy that can read the wind the best that day is usually the winner.
Assuming you’re a typical ELR shooter, you’re probably single loading in the shooting position, in which case it doesn’t matter if you have a push feed action or a snap over controlled round feed.
Some controlled round feed actions cannot snap over something that you toss into themagwell ejection port; watch out for that!

I have a magazine for my 375ct but have never used it as all the bullets I have tried are not even close to fitting. I think the only bullet that would fit would be the 350 SMK which I don't use as I am set up for solids.
Holy hell that’s a round right there.
I should have been more clear on my question, I want a repeater setup (300 PRC) so from the mag what’s ideal?
Whatever floats your boat
As far as results down range there is no difference.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of the ARC Archimedes because of how easy extraction is with a slightly sticky case. Works fine from the mag or the ejection port.
Yea
The levering primary extraction on the Archimedes would certainly be an asset with sticky cases.
