There is much irrational thought on both sides of the Creedmoor discussion.
I have yet to understand why some people get emotionally attached to specific cartridges, either pro or con, and can never look at them impartially, for what they are rather than what they want them to be.
I like the 260, but have owned a dozen or so 6.5 CMs since 2014. I wrote at one point that I'd believe that the 6.5 CM was here to stay once I saw ammo being sold by Walmart. A few short months ago my local Walmart had 6.5 CM ammo from FED/REM/WIN on their shelf, so I'm well convinced that it is here to stay even if it doesn't do anything for the average hunter that a host of other cartridges won't do equally as well. That said, it doesn't hurt that factory ammo is cheap, accurate, and widely distributed, plus all of those entry-level economy grade rifles that are cheap, accurate, and widely distributed.
