I agree there is more support, but mostly seems to be from Hornady in the ammo department, which is because they helped develop the cartridge (i believe).

260 was forgotten about due to stupid Remington, but it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Most mainstream rifles come with 260 as an option, and with Lapua making brass for it as of recent, I would've said they were equally as popular.
