[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1346905, member: 22069"] Using book data, which emasculates the Swede, you are correct. In practice, however, the Swede can, and does, outperform the short action 6.5's if loaded to the same pressure level. The Swede's extra capacity allows it to better utilize slower burning powders, which are capable of generating higher velocity. In order to reach that level, the Swede has to be treated like a wildcat cartridge, generating data independently. Many shooters are not comfortable using anything but published data. For shooters who intend to stick with factory ammo or published data, cartridges like the Creedmoor are a better option. [/QUOTE]
