The Swede earned its chops long before those others were a gleam in some cartridge designers eye. Additionally, it is the most elegant cartridge ever developed. The fact that we have 6.5's other than the Swede is a testament to the need of the gun companies to churn up new business and to the gullibility of their customer base. All that said, maybe I should get one of those clunky looking 6.5's, just, you know, for the kids to fool around with or something.
