Ammo price for 6.5 Creedmore has gone through the roof. What happened?

In my impression, 6.5 CM ammo was priced very similar to 308 price, about $0.8. Recently there is another wave of ammo price inflation. 308 is about $1. But 6.5 CM ballooned to $1.4.

I almost pull the trigger to buy a 6.5 CM bolt rifle. At $1.4 price, I do not see myself practice the rifle enough to realize the accuracy of 6.5 CM.

I also saw somewhere on reddit that someone is selling a $1500 precision rifle, because he can no longer afford the inflated price of 6.5 CM. That post alerted me. I got on ammoseek, and was horrified to find that it is true.

What happened? People buying 6.5 like crazy? People abandoning 6.5? Will price come down?
