Totally unsubstantiated opinion: Hornady was an early provider of 6.5 Grendel ammunition. Personally, I think the cartridge had a huge influence on Hornady. They took Bill Alexander's concepts and applied them to the .260. The 6.5 Creedmoor was the result. They did it again with the PRC family and now the ARCs.
Nothing new about converting a cartridge by making its shoulder sharper and blowing it out. Ackley is the originator I think.
I believe the 6.5 Creedmoor evolved from the .260 and not from the Grendel.
