I agree 100%
Long live the Swede! It’s all you’ll ever need! (Unintended Rhyme)

It’s all so silly and waste of taxpayer finances.
The SWWEDE’s nailed it 124yrs ago with the 6.5×55 = better all around cartridge than any and every one of the above…
My opinion~!

I guess I am part of the marketing hype… but I’ll just sit in the corner, content and rubbing my new Lapua Creedmoor brass giggling.

Editor: It was not meant to be a slight towards this site!! I was a very keen reader on this board when the news broke about the 6,5 Lapua, and subsequent years and had great hopes for it!

However, when the market became totatly flooded, both in gun rags and websites, with a cartridge that the manufacturar claims is “tweeked from a 300 Savage/30TC”, when its just a fraction of the 6,5 Lapua case, I just got to call BS.

Lapua made match grade brass and ammunition, while Hornady pumps out massive amounts of cheap ammo and rifles.

I feel Lapua should get alot more recognition, instead of beeing compared to a copy.

Also, the 6.5 Swede can use 130 Bergers in a short action Rem 700. Cheaper brass, same/better accuracy and same velocities as a Creedmoor, just a couple more gains of powder.

Guess I missed it, was looking for an actual comparison with maybe some basic things things like case volume and velocity/pressure numbers in similar configuration barrels, maybe even more advanced topics like turbulence point.

But looks like the normal, “this one shoot more gooder” comparison….modern day gun articles never miss an opportunity to disappoint.

Glad I’m not the only one underwhelmed by this Creedmoor spin.

Just FYI guys, the 130 Bergers fit deep in a 6.5 Swede case and shoot bug holes and a good velocity. Just like a Creedmoor only cheaper for brass and in a short action too.

Shouldn’t we wait till folks try out this Lapua brass and see if helps the Creedmoor? Oh I’d like to see a 7mm Creedmoor

I believe the person who won the big 1000 yard b/r World Open used a 6.5/47 in both light and heavy gun (High overall). This proves that it is a very accurate cartridge. The 6.5/284 is also a very accurate cartridge, it has also taken the world open in both heavy and light gun (High overall). The Swede has been around for well over 100 years and still going strong. People who have used these three cartridges probably won’t give the Creedmor a second look,it doesn’t have nothing to offer that they don’t already have. Just fake news.

Editor….6mmBR.com was the only place to learn about loads for the 6.5 x 47 Lapua and I have to praise you for that. Handloaders shared information on your website long before it was listed in any manual. That is very high praise for the information that can be had here on Accurateshooter.com

Don’t stop…………eric
