Few recently developed cartridges can compete with the field utility of the 6.5 Creed. It is the long-range poster child. Never to be found in a vintage rifle. But so, what? Is available in so many super accurate and inexpensive modern rifles. It is omnipresent.
Now, what cartridge could equal the time-honored history of the "Swede".? An Olympic glory round, first choice of Scandinavian snipers to defend their homeland from invaders and used to hunt polar bear by early Scandinavian Arctic explorers. What great marksman, what guts and balls! Pure nobility and the full equal of the Creed when handloaded in a strong action
And then there is "The Bob". the .257 Roberts. OK it was pushed out of its incredibly popular position by the .243, but what a groundbreaker the "Bob" was. Our first truly dual-purpose varmint/deer/sheep/antelope cartridge. American ingenuity and dare I say purity, came on the scene just as our game animals came back. Sorry, like the Swede, there are no cheap rifles in this chambering.
Which one pulls your "rifleman's trigger"? And of course, what would the total package be, scope too. Modern bullets have upgraded the field utility of all these cartridges.
Have fun.
