[QUOTE="Savage16Hunter, post: 1535883, member: 64123"] I read in one of my hunting/shooting/gun magazines that one of the reasons for the MARKETING success of the 6.5 Creedmoor was that since it was developed by Hornady (an ammo manufacturer) and not a gun manufacturer, most major arms manufacturers got on board and built (and marketed) guns for it, since they were not boosting their competitors. It's partly why most ammo manufacturers were late to support the cartridge - because they didn't want to support THEIR competitor (Hornady). The .260 Remington (which is ballistically identical, but in a longer COAL) has not enjoyed similar support because it was "Remington". The popularity of Pet Rocks in the mid-70's is evidence that the world belongs to the Marketers, and the 6.5 CM has enjoyed extremely strong marketing. [/QUOTE]
