Depends how you look at it. I started with the idea of using a genuine medium length action for the project when I bought my reamer, then bought a Tikka as the donor. I wanted an improved so I could achieve a bit velocity over a standard case and also benefit from the lower maintenance required on improved cases as they don't stretch to the same degree as standard. Also I'm not one to be mainstream at all, I like to have something a bit different to work with. If I had a 6.5x55 it would probably had a 40 degree shoulder
