I do kinda wonder why Savage did not add the 6.5x55 swede
Sales!

With all the marketing hype about the 260, 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmoor etc. I think people think they are better than the Swede or that the Swede is some sort of antiquated relic of the past. Several years ago Col. Boddington wrote a piece "Cartridges We Can Live Without." and informed us all that the Swede was not worthy of our consideration. He didn't include the .308 in his list. Wonder why?
