Maybe, but doesn't account for everything by a long shot....

Not even in the least. You left out all of his other snide remarks: He's never had one, yet tells us his opinion. JB and mathman hit the nail on the head on this subject matter. You've also had a few and you know there's more to the creedmoor than just obligatory hype and marketing strategy. I don't wear a manbun, but I like the hell out of the 6.5 CM. I have a few and have tested them a bit. I also have a 6.5x55 and also love that cartridge. I think maybe I just got a good rifle? Who knows... As for why the 7mm08 isn't as popular? Guys should read what JB just posted. I feel his pain, he's written on the subject so many times and knows what makes the 6.5CM more "popular". I like both cartridges, load for both, but the edge in accuracy always goes to the CM. Its just designed to be that good...
