Flat base for accuracy.

SAUM Enough to do the job and dead easy to load for and shoot well. The bigger boomers deliver more energy but exploit every flaw in your marksmanship skills. This is reminiscent of the 30-06 versus .308 debates. Spoiler alert: .308 won.

^^This^^ i also looked into longer throats and found optimized loads needed more powder to offset the greater case capacity so I’m back to standard COAL. I’m running Hammer bullets.

Co-Ax works well with ADG brass. No issue over multiple calibers.

I was looking for someone else who used to do barrels for Blaser rifles and found this: https://jsipandsons.com/ They do barrels for the Tac 2.

A loose suppressor or the suppressor cover sliding forward will do that for me.

Agree with the above except you should ask if they inlet the stock for the Remington BDL or the M5. Hawkins makes both.

Thank you. Short or long action? I'm trying to fit a long action. Short or long action?

Has anyone found bottom metal which will work with the CDG long action and a Manners stock? Everything I see in this thread seems to be in chassis which come with their own bottom metal. So far I have tried to make Hawkins Hunter and bdl bottom metal work, both unsuccessfully. My last hope is...

Are you twisting the case during the cutting process?

That's what I was afraid of. This is sounding more and more like a work in progress. I have heard reports that ARC is willing to correct these issues including machining it to run with Hunter magazines. 3.7 is not an ideal COAL for a long action.

AFFF for liquid fires. Not a good choice here.

I don't see fire extinguishers. You might consider halon.

Has anyone successfully run DBM bottom metal with the long-action CDG in a Manners stock? I tried and failed with Hawkins Hunter bottom metal and would like confirmation their or someone else's M5 DBM bottom metal with a CIP length AICS magazine will work in a Manner stock. Thank you for...
