It was bad timing for the 6 creed and covid. Was just getting going and got shut down. It will be very popular soon.
6MM Creedmoor Dead?

This and brass support are very good reasons to run this cartridge.
Plus availability of factory ammo still….

The best I"ve found looking at load data was 3,000-3,200 which wasn't quite enough to get me excited.
Of course, now I'm wondering if I can neck the 6.5LRM down to 6mm

I'd say the 6 Creed is gaining in popularity...

If a 6mm-284 could out pace my 25-284 it would be over 4000fps with 90 gr hammers , now you all have got me thinking 6.5-284 bushing dies ,use the right bushing for the proper neck tension and I'm good too go . Would I pressure out before I got too the 25-284 velocities?The best I"ve found looking at load data was 3,000-3,200 which wasn't quite enough to get me excited.

That would be a question for one of the QL guys. Considering what I'm able to do with the 6.5LRM I would think with the right powder it should be more than doable with the 284 case.
If it could be done with the .375 Ruger case I'm thinking somewhere around 4,400fps should be possible and that's not only right on par with my .204 Ruger, it's a significant increase which would be insane.
I have a 6XC and love it... but... I think if I had the opportunity and was looking for another 6mm I'd look hard at the 6CM I find nothing wrong with it or its concept after shooting a friend 6CM a few times, I'm also a big fan of the .240 Wby Mag and the "6mm Rem", this is one a great cartridge in my book, go 6mm Rem A.I and you have a monster 6mm for the payload.
Is it dying out? I don't think so, not with Lupau, Hornady, and others still supporting it. As for rifles, I think a lot of folks just re-barrel, and the factory may be seeing it as well. Your 6.5CM not doing the job, put on a 6CM see how that feels. Just my 0.2 Cheers!

Just how much can a copper bullet take ?

More than any cup and core bullet by a fair bit. We ran some original Barne's X's at over 4,000FPS in in a 17 Rem back in the seventies.
