For some applications the 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the better options. For other applications not so much. The 6.5 x 47 and the 6.5 Swiss Match predate the 6.5 Creedmoor by at least 3 or 4 years.
The 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 XC, 6.5 x 47, 6.5 Swiss Match and a bunch of other very similar all had the same limited popularity until the Tactical Precision Rifle Series competitions on TV started a media flavor of the month demand.
I am not much of a fan of the Tactical Precision Rife Series competitions on TV. Most of the shooters simply are not very good and they push a lot of BS.
