The swede feeds better IMO due to the tapered design, has a longer neck to aid in throat erosion, and Lapua Brass is $30 cheaper by the 100 than the Creedmoor. I have also found the swede configured in a long action is capable of holding 7ish more grains of powder in many instances when loaded with heavy bullets due to the fact that the bullet is not seated deep into the case. If your a handloader my opinion is that the swede takes the cake. If buying ammo you can't beat the Creedmoor! Store bought ammo is rather boring compared to my 130 accubond load at 3050 fps

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
