Actually, I don't expect the 6.5 Creedmoor's popularity to drop much anytime in the foreseeable future. It took a decade for many "average" hunters to realize that it was the most commonly-available moderate 6.5, not only in rifles but ammo and brass, but now many do.
Agreed. The 6.5s have substantial advantages in BC, SD and recoil and the 6.5CM has enough right about the design that is wrong about the competitors that it's pretty much sweeping the field.
