Your question got me wondering about trying them so I worked up a load using ADG brass, F210M primers, 140 Elite's, and N560 at 58.3 grains. Velocity ended up being 3,105 average ES was 9. There were two velocity nodes. One at 3,030 and one just over the 3,100 mark. Went with the higher cause of the low es. Shot a .25" group at 300 yards with the powder node I picked when I was doing powder charge work. Couldn't believe it so I shot 5 shot groups at 100 yards. First 3 went into one hole measuring .334 outside to outside. Next 2 shots of 5 made the group outside to outside 0.448". Confimed the drop at 500 yards. dialed 6.0 moa and hit the mark 3 times making a 1.280" group. Not to dang shabby. I think I will stick with these in this 6.5 PRC.

Awesome! Thanks for the data much appreciated
 
Understood, my rifle likes H1000 and 210M's and the 147 gr ELDM's. However, I will be using the 140 gr Accubonds for game and I was just thanking him for his effort. Not able to get the groups I want with the Bergers in the short action.
