it just seems the 6.5CM has taken off. I see much more factory hunting rounds on shelves in my area than the 6.5 Swede.


Yeah, the Creedmoor is surely on more of an upswing right now than the 260 Rem and 6.5 Swede. This despite that fact that ballistically, all three are about the same. Put 'me in a bag, shake it and dump em out. That's about the extent of their differences. The main differences now are the CM's better availability of factory ammo & brass, as well as higher quality factory ammo. It'll be interesting to see where the CM is 10 years from now.

Pretty much this is why I want a CM over a Swede. Also, for hand Loaders, apparently (from my reading) the swede loads that are published are old and underperform what newer guns can handle when everything for the 6.5CM is obviously new and up to date.
