I am going to down size all my 6.5 Swede components as I am looking to sell or trade my Tikka T3 Swede. Did a quick inventory this afternoon of the bullets and brass on hand and was not surprised but not happy about the prospects of keeping most of this calibers components, and not even planning on hunting anything any time in the for seeable future with the Swede rifle on hand...even the rifle hopefully will find a better home at some time in the near future. I am not a target shooter, never was never will be, but only shoot at the range to achieve the measure of skill or best shooting ammo necessary to Hunt as as possible.
Ya'll don't giggle but I finally will admit that the Creedmore will compete at least even up with my precious 270 Winchester's in the same bullet weights and bullet style, that I've been shooting in a full range of 270 bullet styles and weight's since the late '60's/early 70's in the same bullet weight and construction as a lot of the on hand 6.5's bullets I've got ...and a Swede just will not reach those performance levels according to the literature I've been reading.
So in order to meet the THF Rules would you all rather I post a few lots at a time, or mebbe hold the new listings of only like products, or price points at a time. ie brass one time or only bullets the next time or to say 5/6 items at a time. Lemme know what ya'll think.
As far as buying another 6.5 something I'm pretty set that the next one will for sure be a Creedmore in one brand or another....and beyond that I'll probably find a 7Mg something or find a donor receiver and finally 20 + years later mount the custom 300Wmg barrel that has been in the way forever.
PS...If anyone can find me a Savage ejector or dozen for my Marlin Model 7 I'd really appreciate it. That crippled up 270 will shoot the whiskers off a WT's nose. Thanks, Ron

I don’t think it matters how you list the stuff , categorically
I’d say listing in lots for 50-60% retail will move the stuff quickly
If your trying to get near retail prices be prepared for a long drawn out process

FWIW - don’t believe the data you are looking at…there isn’t a Gaymoor in the world that will push 130/140 bullets at 270 speeds, the 270 is ~ 100fps faster than the Gaymoor. So keep the Swede.
