I've kind of got my hopes up for this one.

For sure, been waiting for that to come out for a while, the rumors started shortly after 6.5 STB came out.
I had worked up some loads for my 18" hunting ARC, but hadn't been able to Chrono them yet, finally dug up the F1 Chrono and ran a few over.
95gr SST, 29.5gr LVR, 2.1" - 2,676 fps, 2,680 fps
100gr TGK, 29.3gr LVR, 2.27" - 2,676 fps, 2,665 fps
108gr ELD, 29.3gr LVR, 2.245" - 2,650 fps, 2,634 fps
Also worked on a load for 90gr TGKs, and chrono'd this spread:
90gr TGK, LVR, 2.265
30.4gr - 2,802 fps
30.7gr - 2,834 fps
31gr - 2,874 fps
31.3gr - 2,935 fps
That's not too far off of my 21" velocities, I'll probably take either the 108gr ELD or 100gr TGK loads out to hunt with since they shoot pretty close to each other and are carrying respectable velocity
