Have only used it in the .30-06 and the .300 WSM. Worked well.

I have used it in the 30-06. I got great accuracy when I shot at temps near where I did load development (between say 50 and 80 degrees F), but when I went out and shot to test velocity/accuracy on a -10 degree day the load fell apart. Velocities were lower than at 70 degrees (around 2580 fps instead of 2750 fps), and the bullets impacted several inches low, in a poor group.
Now that's only 160 fps difference. Only about a 6% difference in velocity, and I would have been happy with the velocity had the accuracy and point of impact stayed the same, but it didn't.
I also travel a bit to hunt, because being active duty I can go back to Wyoming to hunt, or I can hunt sometimes in Missouri, or Kansas, etc etc. I once went on a cow elk hunt in -5 degree weather in Utah, and I lived in Las Vegas at the time. It was 80 degrees in Las Vegas when I got back from the cow elk hunt. I need a powder that will tolerate the temperature swing without a really severe loss in accuracy. Some loss in accuracy is fine, but not 6 inches at 100 yards.
If you don't travel much and you can perform load development in the same temp range you'll hunt in, Ramshot Hunter is a great powder. I got great accuracy and great velocity with it, in the temp range where I did load development.

I like it in my Creedmoor with the 140 Custom Competitions, Hornady cases and BR2 primers it puts down some very small groups. I have a bunch of Nosler cases when the Hornady cases wear out, but that may take a while. Luckily SPS had some 140 seconds on sale last week and I was able to stock up.

Hunter is not commonly available here in Canada. I have found a couple of pounds over the past few years. I liked what I saw of results with it. If it was available, I would likely use it preferentially in several cartridges.

Here's another way of comparing a powders performance using a H3450 node. I used Hornady case capacity. So it will be different than the report above.
Code:
Cartridge : 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady
Bullet : .264, 130, Berger Hunt VLD G7 #26503
Useable Case Capaci: 46.948 grain H2O = 3.048 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Barrel Time: 1.223 milliseconds
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
65 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
