So I know there is a lot of talk about Mags for Tikka and 6.5PRC. Some specific discussion of Chassis but seems to be around SA chassis.

Here's the thing : I've got an XLR chassis with LA inlet so I need Long Action AICS mags that will run 6.5PRC in a Tikka. If anyone has been running 6.5PRC in a LA chassis/Tikka action I'd love to hear what's working for you.
I've got one MDT 300WM mag (5rd Metal) for the chassis and hoping it will run fine. There's about a zillion brands and configurations of mags out there and good ones are pricey so I'd rather lean on others' experience than go spending hundreds of $ to try a bunch...

I think it basically boils down to what is a quality AICS LA magnum magazine. MDT, Accurate, something else out there reliable and quality?

any help appreciated
 
The 3.560" 300 win mag magazine is going to be your best option. Running a short action action cartridge out of a long action magazine is never the best option and will require a bunch of tuning to get the cartridge to run reliably.

Waters Rifleman makes AICS mags
 
Waters makes variety of SA AICS mags but I only see single loading blocks, orMDT baseplate extensions for LA?
I just got in on the current group buy for a couple 223 tikka mags.
