Control or push feed for ELR?

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.
 
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 the magwell ejection port; watch out for that!

Great point, that’s why I prefer my push feed guns in NRL/PRS settings
 
Lol
I single feed ELR rounds into a controlled round feed action.

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?
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.
