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.

Multiple other companies make 6.5CM ammo aside from Hornady and most of the major American rifle manufacturers make 6.5CM rifles in a variety of styles - hunting rifles as well as precision etc. There's no factory support for .260 in the precision rifle market, aside from like the Tikka T3 CTR. No match ammo from a major manufacturer etc
