I use all LA stagger feed. 22/250, 6x47L, 6.5x47L, 243, 308, 7-08, don't have any long cartridges. If there is a feeding issue, you just tweak the magazine lips a little. I find that you load the magazine making sure the cartridge bases are completely to the rear they will feed just fine. If i was going to hunt something that might eat me, I would be using something with controlled feed and preferably a double rifle.
