Bottom Metal for Coup de Grace Build

If you don’t mind the barricade stop, I would absolutely recommend the MDT bottom metal instead, and I own both. The only reason is they have the adjustable mag latch, which is necessary to get optimal feeding for most (not all) rifles. I used it for a terminus build recently, knowing it was a 3 lug action and was able to easily adjust the latch to get the mag feeding smooth as silk.In what way?
Also, I just got off the phone with someone at Hawkins who cited all kinds of fitment issues with the CDG receiver. Surprises me because ARC recommends their bottom metal.I did see a recent thread about problems feeding 7mm-08 specifically in their proprietary Hunter magazines.
BUT, as I said in my original post, the Hawkins has worked perfectly for me.

I do love the white oak uppers ( I have 3 of the national match uppers all with Bartlein barrels). Spectacular accuracy

I had 15lbs before I edited it haha. I figured 13.5 with no can, but that must be a heavy barrel.
6.5cm from last year….14lb 12oz. Heavy enough that I’m building a 6.5prc that’s 4.5lbs lighter for my wife to shoot (because I have to carry it
)This is mine. 300wm tikka
Curiosity Test.. Brake VS No Brake and Expander VS No Expander

Wondering if running my brake had an effect on accuracy and also whether using a neck expander or not effected accuracy. My data set is very small, I understand that, but was wondering what the results might indicate... Results are 5 shots each at 100 yards.
Equipment:
Tac Ops XRAY-51 .308, ZCO 5-27 scope, Alpha brass, Berger 115 flat base target bullet, CCI small rifle primer, VV N-135, 44.0gr. 2.190 ogive, @3025 fps. SAC modular sizing die, 334 bushing, 80 degrees, overcast, no wind.
Results:
Left side is no neck expander with 4 port Hawkins brake and with no brake.
Right side is using a 306 neck expander with the same brake and then with no brake.....
Assuming all things being equal... Not using the neck expander with No Brake appears to be the way to go. At least with my equipment. 5 shots measuring 0.097".
Tiny data set, but interesting to me.

I never mow during a heat wave.....or a cool spell. Fight me code enforcement.
I do know a lady who went ape shit on code enforcement trying to make her cut her sunflowers. It's been years since they have said anything to me. I was just chopping 6 ft wild lettuce off the ally side of my grape vines. Anything I don't want to mow now is a crop, a cover crop, a trap crop, a compost crop, or an ornamental.
Maybe there just ain't no narcs in my hood.
