There is only 100fps difference between the Swede and Grendel with a 120gr bullet, so is the Swede like using 6lb test to catch the fish?

A 120gr bullet wouldn't be my first choice for moose and elk, but I did see a 130gr 6.5 bullet drop a moose like the hammer of Thor.

How long has the Swede been considered such a good hunting cartridge?
