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...

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'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.

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.
