Parent case is the 260 Remington. Only info I found was the 6.5 LRP and 6mm LRP Facebook page.

Why not stick with the .260 Rem? It will save you a great deal of money and there's ton's of load data available.
Less throat erosion and sharper shoulder is easier on brass. Partial die form and not a total fireform like an Ackley. The idea is good but the info is lacking.
GA Precision as well as Spartan Precision has chambered rifles in 6.5 LRP.

That's part of the fun of having a wildcat chambering.
If you haven't done so already, I'd start per 7mmShooter's post.
That site is definitely lacking a lot of critical information. The 6.5 Super LR is very similar with a 30 degree shoulder instead of a 35. There seems to be a more considerable amount of information on it.
Yesterday, I shot it for the first time and have gathered some good info. I'm using 260 Lapua brass and getting 2830 fps with a 140 Berger Hybrid on the fireform load with no pressure signs.

Again, that's part of the fun having a wildcat cartridge. You can always as others have noted, use the parent case (.260 or the improved variants) as a baseline when developing your load.
Cheers!
