I think 6.5 creedmoor has proven successful is its a decent cartridge with a spectacular marketing campaign and industry push. Superior to .308? Yes as far as I'm concerned. Dominance in competition? I don't believe that's the case, as if you are playing long range shooting games with a bolt gun 6mm commercial offerings and wildcats are more competitive.6.5 is sticking around because it is a good entry level caliber with ammo that is easily obtainable. Componets to reload are also easily obtained. It's not sticking around because of dominance of competitions.
Only morons and poors shop at "dank" gun stores.
Dank gun store? Hell, I barely set foot in any gun store at this point!
