It's funny how Creedmoor fans will claim that their 6.5 has superior ballistics to the Swede 6.5.
However, you only need to compare the factory loadings of both to realize just how very similar the velocities are with the same bullets.
The Creedmoor cartridge offers no ballistic advantage over the Swede, so accuracy-wise, with all things being equal in similar rifles, there can be no difference.
Some claim that the 6.5 Swede is only shot for nostalgic reasons, perhaps because of the prevalence of surplus 1896 Mausers and AG42B Military semi-autos.
However, in Europe, this cartridge still retains a huge following in finely made new bolt action rifles.
Some say that the Creedmoor is a near-perfect balance of recoil, long range capability as a target rifle, and a suitable big game cartridge.
If this is so, then the same can be said for any similarly made modern production 6.5 Swedish rifle.
Much is made of the short action length advantage of the Creedmoor cartridge, supposedly resulting in a lighter and more compact rifle.
Yet, the pictures that I have seen show me rifles with rather bulky stocks, longer barrels, and mounted with honking big telescopes in order to capture all of that accuracy claimed for the cartridge. How is that advantage actually utilized in these heavy rifles?
The real main advantage that is true is that you can easily buy a suitable modern 6.5 Creedmoor rifle off the shelf, while an equivalent modern rifle in 6.5 Swedish would be hard to come by, and probably more expensive.
All that this means really is that your choice has been made for you by those who produce the rifles, and not that the Creedmoor is a better cartridge than the Swede.
