Well I picked up my .256 Creedmoor ( I don't do sillymeters). Bought a bunch of factory ammo from federal, Winchester and Hornady, 120,130 and 140 grains. Had a Leupold 4.5 X 14 scope from a AR-15 I sold, got scope rings and mounts from Cabelas and went off to the range I went.
Boy am I happy with this purchase, rifle shoots like a dream.
Got 2700fps. for the 120gr. Winchester loads and 2600 for the 140gr. Hornady's.
Now comes the hard part, got some RCBS dies but slim pickens on powder, primers and bullets. Managed to get some Hornady 140gr. SST bullets and a can of Hodgden Superperformance powder but that was it shelves were pretty bare. Probably drove 150 miles in search of components, finally bit the bullet and got some CCI primers and Hornady brass from Midway USA but I had to buy 8lbs. of H-4350 because that was all they had. Didn't want to search any further and pay an extra hazmat fee. They were pretty much cleaned out of bullets but I did get some 120gr. Hornady's from Mid-South.
As soon as my all my components arrive I'll start reloading for the 6.5 Yuppie as one fellow called it.
