I’m trying to choose bottom metal for a new build: 300 Norma Mag, Mausingfield Action, Manners EH5 stock.
My problem is I am hoping to run the Barnes 212 gr Bore Rider bullet with a 3.95 recommended COAL.
My preference is BDL for hunting but a five round magazine DBM also works.
The Remington long action BDL box seems to be 3.4 so that rules out both the standard Remington box and the Manners mini-chassis.
The Wyatt box seems to be 3.85.
The extended Wyatt box is 4.0 but requires action and bolt stop modification. Is that possible with a Mausingfield?
It also appears MDT makes a 4.0 five round magazine but I don’t know what bottom metal would make that magazine work with the Mausingfield.
I would appreciate some education.
Going down this rabbit hole also causes me to ask what are options for a short action for longer COAL than standard BDL or DBM.
Thank you for the help.
