Furprick,

Way to highjack a thread. wink

The OP asks about the 6.5 Creedmoor, and all you do is post a commercial for the 6.5 swede.

Great, I'm glad you like your Swede.It's a fine round.

Now for some advantages of the 6.5 Creedmoor..

1)Equal velocity to the 6.5 swede(comparing factory loads)

2)Fits in a True Short(.308 length) action.

The only way a 6.5 Swede can be loaded to beat 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics is to exceed the maximum load data published by the powder/bullet companies.

The bottom line is that the 6.5 Creedmoor and the .260 do everything a Swede does in a true short action.
