The swift has a longer neck than the Creedmoor by a fair bit as well.
When the 300 magnum came out, it was perceived that the short neck would be its death because of inaccuracy issue, but it has been used to win long range matches like Wimbledon and is extremely popular for hunting to this day.
However, since good tech support , excellent brass , fantastic fast twist barrels, and good powder are available as well as load data, the 22 Creedmoor will likely be here to stay.

The 22 Creedmoor pretty much equals or slightly exceeds the great 22-250. It has all the advantages of the 22-250AI, reduced case stretch being the most noted advantage of the AI over the regular 22-250. The Creedmoor case is designed with a sharp shoulder and neglible case taper.
If I didn't have a great 22-250, I'd buy the Creedmoor.
