The Creedmoor was developed to fit the SR25/AR10 magazines for high power rifle shooting. If it weren't for that type of magazine being used in high power shooting, the Creedmoor likely wouldn't exist. And that is why it is still so popular in those tactical / chassis style rifles. Most hunting rifles don't use that magazine configuration, and as a result, the advantages that the cartridge provides in that magazine, may not be much if any advantage in the various hunting rifles.
