Best powder and availability for 6.5 creedmoor updated

Hello to my fellow "Connoisseurs of the powder and lead"... Looking for an updated list of the best load data that a regular guy like me can find in-stock in this day and age for the 6.5 creed.
Ideally I'm shooting 400-800 yds with a tikka t3x tac a1 in, you guessed it, 6.5 Creed. Any replies are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
AA- 4350, IMR 4350 or, StaBall 65 from, Winchester
RL - 15, 16 , 17 have some "applications"
as does,.. VhitaVouri, N-150, N-160
Look for,.. 4350 "Burn Rate" Powders

I’d vote most likely to succeed as H4350, Varget, and R16.

I‘ve got good velocities with 7828ssc. H4831sc does alright and I have seen promising data with 4000MR. I have a jug of 4000MR but haven’t got a chance to try it yet.

4000 MR will get you top end speeds and does quite well in 6.5 Creedmoor.
On the faster burn side ARComp has worked very well with 120-130 weight range of bullets.
 
The new Viht N555 will likely do better than existing N150/550 or N160/560.

Shooters World 'Long Rifle' (Czech Lovex SO65)

Others not previously mentioned:

Norma URP
Norma 204
Shooters World 4350 (Lovex SO70) should do well, but my most recent lot is much slower burning than previous lots and wouldn't produce the MVs you'd expect.
Hodgdon H414
Ramshot Big Game (a tad on the 'fast side' for 140s maybe.)
