Personal Answer: Swede. I dig cartridges that require words to describe them. Saying "Swede", "Whelen", or "Roberts" just sounds so much cooler when you're talking to the ignorant masses at the range. > than century's worth of history is cool, too. And do go for the long action.
Agreed. And ".260 Rem" is
especially tough for me to say--------6.5-08 would be a step in the right direction (for me anyway).
The Swede has the history, a sexier look to it, and a little more capacity. The .260's name sucks, has a bit less capacity, but would work better in a short action.
