The reason you can't find a 6.5 at the gun counter is because they can't keep anything 6.5 on the shelf, people are buying them up as soon as they land. Try getting anything in a 6.5 Creedmoor and I bet it's on backorder.
The thing that sets the 6.5x47 Lapua and 6.5 Creedmoor apart from a lot of others is their design and being able to seat them way out with the heavy for caliber bullets in a short action chamber.
This isn't new technology, but it's new to me. Just recently when I looked into my next rifle cartridge I knew I wanted a short action so I started my investigation, it really opened up my eyes.
