Looks like the Creedmoor case will be offered by Lapua. This will undoubtedly make many people very happy.

Looks like a small primer pocket as well. I don't think that was expected?

I think I've read rumors that Lapua Creedmoor brass was coming on here. I suspect the tooling changes to make it is only a slight change from making 6.5X47L cases.

Actually, Kevin Thomas let the cat out of the bag about 6 weeks ago and stated it would likely be small primer cases akin to the Palma. He said the release would be announced officially during the SHOT Show in 2017...I guess they were able to tool up quicker than expected.
