I’ve reloaded for .308, .30-06, and .260 Rem. I have a 6.5 CM, I just haven’t loaded for it yet. My best, it limited results for the .260 is RL-19, 6.5 StaBALL and H4350. .308, I’ve used IMR-4320, IMR 4064 and Varget. 30-06 RL22, IMR 4064 and your pick of 4350.

Pretty simple....
IMR 4895, IMR 4064, RL 15 and if able to make it 4 favorite powders, add IMR 3031...

IMR 4895, IMR 4064, RL 15 and if able to make it 4 favorite powders, add IMR 3031... I think he wants 3 of your favorite powders for each cartridge. I'd vote for keeping it simple and finding one or 2 good powders that will work for all of them, or maybe 3 at most. For example: H4350, Big game and RL15. A guy could do an awful lot with those powders. H4895, IMR4064 and AR Comp would also be great powders to look at.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I'd have two.
RL-15 and H4350. Sub RL-19 if you want Alliant
Varget and IMR 4451
4064 and IMR 4350 (sub I 4831)
No real need for three.

Creedmoor.............H4350, Staball, and W760. StaBall 6.5 seems like an interesting option that has crossed my mind to try in the 6.5.

So far for me these are what I have been using......
6.5 Creedmoor: RL16 (heavier bullets), Varget (light bullets)
260: H4350
6.5x55: RL22, H4350
7mm-08: Varget
30-06: H4350, IMR4064
With powder getting harder to find, I’m considering other options that may work.
