No match ammo from a major manufacturer etc

Who other than Savage and Ruger chamber rifles in 6.5 Creedmore? I know Savage and Tikka have multiple options in .260. And as far as factory ammo, Id agree support for the Creedmore is growing, but .260 seems to have more options still (according to Midway), and it does seem to be mainly Hornady.

I'm quite interested in if there is more support for either cartridge as I hope to buy a 6.5 cal of some sort soon and was more or less set on 260. But if there is a case to be made for the Creedmore, I'll start seriously looking at that.
I like that Lapua makes brass for 260 and it seems Lapua only makes brass for popular calibers they think will stand the test of time.

Edit: I see Accuracy international offers rifles in both cals, so they both must stand a chance of living longer than most wssssssm type loudenboomers.
