For my 2 cents, I have staball 65 and have shot it, I do not find it to be superior to the H4350 in 6.5 CM, so for me it is a backup. Now in the 6 creed it is a main powder for me.
4451, RE17, and most others mentioned, to me they are alternates when you can't find your main one. R17 has some temp sensitivity, I found above ~90 degF (summertime workups). 4451, I use in 243 but it is a B/U for other calibers. Not a bad idea to have some overlaps IMO.
And the new staball whatevers, maybe they will show themselves well in time but I'm personally not at the point of wanting to experiment any more. So I'll wait on them. OP or others, maybe you want to try 'em.
But for others, maybe they want to try some of all these out, none of them are bad choices to be sure. The 4451 and endurons, however, are not being made any more. So whatever you find or have on hand, that's it.
