Long action I would go with the sweede, if its a short then .260 all the way. I have never been able to see any advantage to the Creed over the .260 especially in a savage action. There is plenty of room to seat the bullet where it needs to be and still function from the magazine and if not guess what seat it a little deeper and you have the exact same performance as the Creedmoor. Any 6.5 you choose will be an excellent choice and you will be well pleased with the performance.
