Nothing wrong with factory 270 or a Creedmoor if one does not like loading.
Swedes are not for all, but do a damn good job for many applications.
65 - Man I've been handloading nearly as long as I've been deer hunting. I have more loading stuff than any normal man has any business having.
I have been dropping down in bullet weights in the Swede to get the vel hi enuff to flatten it out. I'm close but not quite satisfied yet.
<<< OTOH when you reduce the bullet weight you 'lose' the length that gives the 6.5s those great BCs. >>>
I've just been loading, graphing, shooting, & hunting 270s, & 7mm RMs so long--I'm not impressed with most small 6.5 velocities.
Another OTOH - I have NOT been saying nor implying that the Swede is not useful for many applications.
I am NOT satisfied with the Swede -so far- but it's NOT for sale. I LOVE the rifle! I can list many cartridges that I will not own, load, shoot, or hunt. The Swede is far better than some.
Even where I'm hunting now it covers 80 % of my possibilities. But the other 20% is there. I WOULD CHOOSE the Swede for many applications>>>just not all.
I hope these explanations define better where I am with the Swede.
