Except it does it with optimized and standardized pressure, chamber, throat and brass dimensions which make it an "easy button" solution for precision with off the rack rifles and this is particularly true for those who don't handload.

I have both the Swede and the Creed, each with new Shilen barrels.

The Creed is easier to load for, shoots about everything well, some loads super well. The Swede is more selective, not as forgiving, but very accurate with loads it likes.

Both kill stuff equally dead.
