As I understand it, the main benefit of CRF is in the case one 'short strokes' the bolt, sending a fired piece of brass back toward the chamber.
There are pros and cons to the mechanical ejector as well. I have babied the bolt and failed to eject a case before. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool...
On the other hand, a skilled operator knows the strengths and weaknesses of their platform...
There are dozens of threads on the CRF debate. I kno for many of us, it is beating a dead horse, so your best bet may be using the search feature.
I did the same thing you are talking about (300wsm on a long action) on a Tikka. I like the way it feeds (center feed magazine) better than the CRF, personally, but I never intend on shooting inverted or anything like that.
