2nd Hand, but rumor is Lapua is discontinuing 6mm Creedmoor brass production.  I'm surprised by this, since we had years of steady articles and video's about how 6mm Creedmoor is the round that will rule them all and everything will be moving to that round.  I personally never really agreed, as the BBL life was pretty short for my tastes and the bullet is just too small diameter to have terminal performance I want, for ballistics performance increase over 6.5CM that wasn't really there for my interests.  But that was me, I'm not a PRS hot-shot, and was under the impression in that arena, 6mm CM was supposed to be it.   What happened, did it fall out of favor?

It continues to be the niche cartridge that most everyone understood it to be since day one. It was never going to be as popular as 6.5 Creedmoor. If you only view stuff through the PRS lens you don't get the full view of the market. I'd be surprised if it ever had half the 6.5 Creedmoor market. It also didn't seem to supplant 243 like the 6.5 did to 260 which struggled for years. I would love to have actual sales numbers to back up my perception on what I see for sale but I don't know how you'd even get ahold of them.

False. They are just suspending production.

The latest data on what cartridges the long range shooting crowd is using is available here.
The competition was the NightForce sponsored Extreme Long Range Steel Challenge, targets are 700-2100 yards from the shooters location.

Looks like the cartridge used the most by the top 10 finishers was the 300 Norma, used by 4 of the top 10.
6.5 PRC was used by the most competitors, 12 of the 103 competitors answering the poll, but no one using it finished in the top 25.
6mm Creedmore was used by 4 shooters, as was the 6.5 Creedmore.

This contest isn't part of the precision rifle series, it's a one-off competition for extreme long range shooting. Surprised by so many people (15) using the 7 SAUM and 6.5 SAUM, and at how well they did with 6 of the 15 in the top 25 finishers.

Here's two (terrible) pics of the 7mm SAUM rifle I built.  Haven't shot it yet.

we need a screen shot of that chart please

6 Creed was the one with article after article about how it's going to take over.  With articles like this non-stop:

Those others fell out of favor a long time ago and were always specialty rounds that few actually shoot and were never going anywhere.  (aside from Grendel, but Lapua Grendel brass is a whooollle other thread (Kabooms).   I wont' touch Lapua Grendel Brass.  If I were a Lapua Product Manager, you bet I'd discontinue that one - now that it's popular enough round that random's are making barrels and bolts and gas systems not timed right for their brass to still be safe).

I assume 6.5 CM is relatively safe then?

Truth - the few times I find 6mm Creedmoor brass, I just run it through the 6.5CM dies interchangeably and run it as 6.5 CM - never seen a difference, but then, I tend to just run those through the 6.5 CM MDRx, where .5 MOA changes will never be seen if they are even there.  (MDRx and Precision Rifles don't generally belong in the same sentance).   6.5 CM brass is common.
