I found Reloader 17 to produce the fastest speeds out of the 6 creed followed closely by H4350. The problem is it’s 50 fps faster in the summer vs winter. RL 16 is a more stable offering but it’s filthy compared to H4350 and RL 17. The same with RL 25 vs RL 26, 25 produces faster velocity and 26 is dirty. I didn’t see either one of these offerings in stock for long. There seemed to be a market for themI don't think Lapua is suspending 6.5 creed but 6mm creed for sure.
RL-17 and RL-25 have been eclipsed by 16 and 26. Both offer better velocity and temp stability. RL-19 is understandable from my experience. I picked some up on the cheap when components started going up and while it's not bad it doesn't do anything well. 30-06, 6.5 and 6 creed all have better options for velocity and consistency for ES and SD. It is versatile enough to be used and a fire forming powder for almost everything so that's how I use it. Obviously ymmv.
Seeing where Lapua is made, it's my understanding that much of their resources are going towards the Ukrainian conflict.Alliant is dropping RL17, RL19 and RL-25 from their line
Lapua is dropping 6.5 PRC, 300 Win Mag, 6.5CM SRP, 223 Rem Match, .243 Win and 6.5-284 from their brass line
