The creed is scratching at my head.
I am a sucker at times.
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven.

I've owned a number of 6.5s over the years including the 260 Rem. Comparing the ballistics to the 6.5 C, I really don't see what the fuss is all about with the Creedmoor, on paper, they look about the same. Can someone educate me as to why the Creedmoor is all everyone talks about these days? Creedmoors are like electrolytes.

I was in Cabela's earlier today.
There were 34 different factory load varieties of 6.5 CM ammo.
There were 4 different factory load varieties of 260 REM ammo.
Herter's brand 129 gain pointed soft point ammo was priced at $14.95 per box of 20.
It appears as though the 6.5 CM is either close to joining, or already has joined, that group of common/mainstream/popular find 'em everywhere cartridges like the 223, 22-250, 243, 270, 7MM RM, 30-30, 308, 30-06, and 300 WM.

I believe that kick started it.

Stick a fork in 260Remington is my opinion. Remington is producing more rifles in the "enemies" caliber than their own.
For me it's availability and price, 260Remguy summed it up.
It reminds me of Keymod VS MLok or Blueray VS HD DVD

Both great calibers. 6.5 Creedmoor was marketed 100x better than the 260

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Agreed If Remington had any sense they would have given the 260 an actual marketing budget and teamed up with a major ammo manufacture. And, don't forget, Remington never cataloged it in their most popular rifles, the 700 ADL and BDL, in addition to, or instead of, the 700 BDL SS-DM. Let me write that again, Remington never cataloged the 260 in either the 700 ADL or BDL, what does that suggest to you about their degree of commitment? Remington made a non-cataloged run of 700 ADL matte/synethic rifles in 6mm, 257 Ronberts, and 260 for Grice at least once during the early 2000's, but they must not have sold well enough for Remington to make any of them a regular production cataloged item. Remington was sending rifle to wholesalers before they sent ammunition, which seems like incredibly poor marketing. When I got my first 260, a 7 SS, in 10/97, Zander's didn't have factory loaded ammo available, so I bought dies, Winchester/Olin 243 brass, and used Ken Waters' 263 Express data to start loading for it.

The marketing and sales people at Remington probably weren't that dumb, so how did it happen? Did somebody sabotage it purposely? Or did Remington manage to make poor choices every time that there was a choice to be made?
