Misc I screwed up

My original gun build plan was a tikka ctr truetimber 6.5 creed 24'' from cabelas and a cadex field competition chassis. I bought the chassis as a special order yesterday only to find out that the tikka ctr truetimber is soldout in the country.

Now I can only get the 20'' ctr which is 100fps less than the 24'' and I am mad at myself. Does anyone know where I can get a tikka ctr 6.5creed in 24 inch barrel?

Right after I made this post, I found out hornady as a superperformance 129gr 6.5 creed that can give me free velocity. Can it be used for long range plinking?

No such thing as a free lunch.

Whats the goal for this rifle?

Long range plinking and prs. Now Im thinking about getting a 6.5 PRC CTR 24'' instead. Ammo is not THAT much more expensive and it gives more range

Yeah that would be a good choice. A bit more expensive to feed if you want to do PRS where youll be shooting 100 rounds a day~

6mm Creedmore would also be a very, very good choice.

are there magazines that feed 6.5PRC into a short action chassis? I heard the standard SA AICS mags dont work

Mdt metal magazine without binder plate should do the trick.

are they avaliable to order without binder plate or do I have to remove it myself

Brother that information is readily avaliable on the MDT website lmao.

You order it how you want it. With or without

what about the 300WSM/6.5PRC aics 7 rounders? MDT lists them as long action for some reason, but I called 2 gunstores and they said it should work.
