Yes the accuracy is there. In fact my most accurate load is 48gr of H4831 and a 140 Amax running at 2840fps in a 26" barrel. I have got to ask. Why load it down? If you do feel you need to load it down then get the .260 or better yet build a .260AI and have the best of both worlds. In all seriousness though a 140 gr bullet pushed to 2800fps is enough to kill deer and similar sized game waaaay out there. I used my 6.5-284 last year with the load listed above to take a deer at 1243 yards. It had plenty of power to get the job done and more importantly I was confident enough to put the bullet where it needed to go.
