Will 6 Creedmoor go the way of 7 SAUM?

[WRO]

Hornady is an ammo maker and component maker, the rest have failed because they are gun makers making cartridges. Saums, WSMs, the nosler line, soon the 7 backcountry etc..

All were perfectly fine cartridges with no support and limited options for factory ammo.

In the end it will be more popular than the 25 CM

I would think so too, but 25 CM is getting pushed pretty hard and I see some companies like Weatherby chambering it but not 6CM. Plus NRL hunter. Who knows though. I do know that some hunters still think a 6mm is more of a coyote and down caliber, and 25 is better for ‘big game’… again who knows.

What’s a 7 Saum?

The best 7

 

[PC356]

Less and less factory rifle offerings are available in 6 Creedmoor. Will 6 Creed become a niche cartridge like 7 SAUM? 2 of the best cartridges ever but they are becoming reduced to custom builds and a cult following. Will there be a new factory 6mm or will .243 Winchester remain the only widely available cartridge? Will there be a 7mm short action magnum to compete with 7PRC? Will 6.5 PRC still be around in 25 years?

Seems like a buncha odd personal biases and assumptions..? If anything we’re gonna see more rifles chambered in 6 Creed the next cpl yrs. Most of those comments require a crystal ball. All I can tell ya is wait and see.

I’ve had a Remington Model Seven in 7 SAUM for nearly 10 years now, I guess. I love it. I wish they would offer factory rifles in them again. It’s been a great cartridge for me. I guess it was just ahead of its time.

I am curious where you are getting this information.

I arguably am seeing just as many 6mm CM options as 6.5 locally.

Doesn't really matter, if you want one, you will always be able to have one. I hunt with a cartridge that has never been offered in a factory rifle, and has no brass or dies available.
I think Hornady will keep making ammo and brass for the 6 Creed. I bought 218 Bee brass and ammo a few months ago- new Hornady production. There have been very few guns chambered in 218 Bee in 50 years, and none that I am aware of currently.
