What brand of brass did you get?  I've been making my own out of Hornady .308 Match brass - it's a process, turning the necks down, but worth it. Still easier than making 300BLK brass from LC 5.56 brass...  

You'll love it, man, big time.  I was blown away with the flight characteristics of 6.5mm projectiles, when I got into the Grendel  Unreal.  The .260 was my own personal confirmation that 6.5mm projectiles are just BADASS...  

Lemme know what you're thinking for projo weight.  I have a magical combination going on with Hornady 147 ELD-Ms...

250 starline pieces of brass. i used starline brass in the 243 win. ar, they seemed to come out in pretty good shape.   i have never neck turned any brass, maybe one of these days.    i bought a box of 143gr.  hornady eld-x to try, as most things i shoot at around here are live(coyotes,badgers,rats,deer,elk,sage rats) once in awhile a rock or two.  i am pretty excited to get it running. loaded 6.5x55 years ago for my sons first deer rifle, other than that have never personally used a 6.5 caliber rifle.
