This has been a very interesting thread. Thanks.
My 6.5CM likes IMR 4451 best of what I have tried to date. Very consistent velocity and most accurate 3 & 5 groups.

i don`t have any IMR 4451 ,i do have plenty RL 17 which is close to the powder you are using on the charts and that RL. 17 shot well too for me,i wanted to try powder closer to the bottom of the list which was RL. 26 , i have 2 kegs of this powder and i was surprised how well RL.26 worked.you may thing this is strange when i say this : this 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger precision recoiled and shot so smooth for me with RL.26 , i feel once you have shot bench rest a while sometimes you can feel kinda like what seems to work easier in a rifle ? so i have a mission to try this RL.26 in my 257 Creedmoor rifle also,so with fingers crossed that maybe even these Black Jack 131 gr. bullets shoot better and more consisted too in my rifle ?
