[QUOTE="TucsonFX4, post: 2930215, member: 126198"] Get a few factory round options to test for groups to hunt with, at least that’s what I would do with no time left for load development. I also have a 6.5prc and it shoots factory 143eldx and 147eldm lights out (for hunting purposes), ~1/2 moa. I would hunt with either of those bullets. I have also not had a problem finding factory accubond rounds available, but they have been notably more expensive than the Hornady rounds. They would still be good to test if you don’t get acceptable group sizes with the Hornady options. If you’re determined to hand load for the hunt, I would try a different bullet. Eldm, Berger, ABLR, etc. There are lots of possibilities for trying to get your current combo working, but it seems like you don’t have much time so it’s hard to tell how much you can play with the combo to see if it does or doesn’t work. Velocity ladders/nodes, seating depth ladders, different primers. Especially if you’re working outside of SAAMI, changes should be approached cautiously which typically means more test rounds to safely build back up to where you expect to be for velocity with each change.
