No confusion there...just perhaps cheaper brass, rifles and Hornady ammo, if it's coming to market.

As to the XC, love the round, always thought a 6x47 Swiss Match would be sweet, alas no viable brass source into the US.

Had the 6.5 CM been out first, Rem might never have done the 6.5-08, and had someone done a QT, fast twist 243....same w/Creedmoor, but the newer rounds are better designed no doubt, does that offset the practical benefits of the plethora of older rounds having plenty rifle/ammo/brass choices, is a shooters opinion.

Aren't the IHMSA rounds based on the Savage? Hmmm, the magic of the re-invention of the wheel....and around it goes smile
