I am a Swede fan at heart. I know there are probably better options out for a specified purpose, but I guess I like older, not-as-popular underdog.
With that said, here is my dilemma.........
I have always wanted a heavy, threaded barreled Swede. I know that the cartridge is under-loaded at factory and you have to reload to get it up to Creedmoor equivalent specs. I also know that the Swede has more case capacity. And that the Creedmoor can be reloaded to get more out of it.
So, am I wasting my time wanting to build a heavy barreled Swede for 800+ yard when I should just go with a factory heavy barreled Creedmoor than will do basically the same thing and not tie up 6 months doing a Swede build? Time is not an issue, just pondering if I am creating more issues and over thinking everything just to stick with a Swede.
