6.5 prc

not trying to one up you, but I did have a YZ490, '83 model. That might be like a 3 up.??
And Nosler Accubond has been the most predictable expanding and penetrating game bullet i've shot in about 40 years of killing deer and pigs. anywhere from 3400 down to about 2950MV. From 110-160grs.
Accuracy is hard to beat. and the ease of tuning is even harder.
I haven't killed over maybe 300yds with them but with that nose and PC tip initiating expansion Id have no fear going to 500 or maybe 600 at my velocity.

And im learning the Ballistic Tip "Hunting" is very well behaved. Especially since the heavier weights for caliber have become available.
I shot the 180 Accubonds out of a 300 WSM at over 500 on whitetail, and it was devastating. Bang flop or run a short distance, lethal combination at 2950 muzzle velo
 
I really like the 130 Accubond but I guess they are discontinued so, that leaves me with the 140, which I suppose should be fine. I used to shoot the 130 in my 6.5-284 and it was great. I also like the 120 Barnes TTSX that I use in my son's Creedmore. It really seems to hit hard at closer ranges. I just wonder if the 120-130 class stuff would be OK for an elk out to 400-500 yards? The load i currently have with the 130 Sierra in my PRC is on 58.3 grains of H1000 (24" bbl). I'm guessing it's at somewhere around 3,150 but I'll see as my friend just got the new Garmin Xero.
Here you go, 130 accubonds...
