I reached out to MDT, but haven't heard back from them yet, maybe it's holiday weekend, so I'm turning to the collective minds here

I have a factory Weatherby Vanguard Long Action in 6.5 PRC (I won it in a Weatherby contest!). Thinking of dropping it into an MDT XRS, or maybe LSS-XL chassis. If anyone has those Howa long action chassis, do the use the double stack/single feed mags DSSF, or single stack, single feed mags SSSF?

MDT website says Howa/Vanguard chassis work only with poly mags, but they don't specifically say for SA and LA. But I know their statement is not entirely true. I have a Weatherby 6.5CM in a MDT short action LSS-XL chassis and I notched out the front of DSSF metal mags so they seat fully in the well, and they feed fine.

Thx
