You keep talking about how fast your Swede is but fail to realize that its reputation was built on the loads of yesteryear. You like to ignore that fact, along with many others to try and paint a picture of all other 6.5's being nothing more than glorified pop guns compared to the mighty Swede.

Maybe the Swede was all just a bunch of lies until very recently like all the fake clips on YouTube with the Grendel and Creedmoor?
I'm not trying to paint any picture. The Swede is what it is and we are not living 100 yrs ago. There's not much you can do to change that regardless of its age. The only difference between now and then is that we have rifles that can handle the cartridge at it's full potential. Same with all the other 6.5's. The Grendel is another matter. By the sound of things it maybe the next gens 1000 yd cartridge.
