Long action 6.5 PRC

[KyShooter]

I recently bought a 700 adl in 7 mag pulled factory barrel off ordered a 6.5 prc prefit x caliber barrel, stock trigger etc. used a Bergara bottom metal my buddy had laying around from a 7 mag just so I could have the gun together before deer season and just treated as a single shot. My question is what are my options for the most reliable repeater? Do I switch to a dbm set up or is there a different mag box for the bdl style that will feed the prc properly?
Thanks

My first 6.5 PRC I built on a long action 700 with BDL bottom metal. They fed just fine, although I did put them in the middle of the mag box rather than all the way to the rear for best feeding. They did not move under recoil, but I did end up making an aluminum spacer for the rear of the mag box and shortened the follower. ADL/BDL shouldn't matter either way.

I have been eyeing the same project and found that LRI makes magazine spacers. I haven't used them but they might work for you. If you give them a shot please let me know as I am interested in how well they work.
