If you are a handloader, and are building new :

The shoulder dimensions ( .435") and neck length of the Swede invite some consideration of one of its' Improved versions ( BJ? AI, etc.) .

More velocity, or same velocity at lower pressure, with less trimming!

The Creedmoor is already "improved" with a shoulder diameter of .462" !!
