Throw enough money at marketing anything, and it will come out on top. 6.5CM, US presidency etc.

And next year the ultimate nz cartridge will be the 7 mm water-blaster :-)
Out of all the rifles I got through my hands in the last two years ( 2500+), 308 and 7-08 come way above at the top of the list, next 270 and 223 then 243, 7rem mag and 300 win mag, next 6x5x55 .

Despite the huge number of 303 I worked on less than a dozen, and I might have worked on 3 to 5 6.5 creedmoor rifles in total.

So yes it is just the promotion of a magazine to increase the sales of the 6.5 CM.
