Only thing is, there's no factory 6cm ammo, is there? Also, I hear the Hornady 6cm brass is horrible - primer pockets loose after a couple firings.

Lapua is making 6.5 Creedmoor brass with the small primer right now. Should be available soon if not already. Could neck it down

Oh goody. Another botique caliber for people to fawn over.

It will sell like hot cakes to the sheeple because of Hornady's marketing machine.

Any news with what Remington will be coming out with. Hopefully a rifle chambered in 6.5 creedmoor.

That would not be smart on Remington's part unless they just want to drive the final nail in their own cartridge's coffin (260 Remington).

Remington doesn't even produce ammo for their .260 any more, they have given up on it so they gain nothing from selling .260's while 6.5 Creedmoors are flying off the shelves.

Most of the guys who shoot .260's are handloaders and a lot of them shoot custom rifles, so again Remington gains nothing from it. Everyone shooting a Remington 700 (one of the most popular rifles), chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor (one of the most popular rounds), has to build it themselves.

I won't be sad if Ruger drives them out of business after the crap they've been churning out lately and the way they've been running things.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Remington still loads Ammo for the 260. Core Lokt, Premier Accutip and a managed recoil load.

I hear people spouting off about Remington going down hill, blah, blah, blah...that hasn't been my experience at all. I'd say shooters such more than the rifles do. I'll put my 700 5R rifles up against any other factory rifle in the same class. All I've done is replace the triggers with Jewell triggers and they are all sub 1/2 MOA.

That's an ignorant statement about wanting them to go under. There's a reason 99% of the custom builds are based on Remington actions.
