If you can find a few boxes of the 140gr Privi give it a try and see how it does in your rifle.
I picked up a 6.5 quite a few years back for my daughter to use, and after MANY rounds looking for a load that would shoot within a golf ball sized group, I finally hit one that she shot until a couple of years back. I picked up a dozen boxes of the Privi on sale figuring it would be great cheap ammo for hogs. Turns out it has been the most accurate ammo I have ever put through the rifle.
When had it out for the first time, I zeroed the scope with it at 100yds, then shot three rounds after it cooled off. All three could easily be covered with a dime. then I gave up the chair to my then 8yr old grandson who also fired three rounds, followed by my daughter who finished up with three herself. When we walked out to the target I could have covered all 9 rounds with a quarter easily. Not too much else to say on the accuracy when you have three different shooters all put them together like that, especially when one is an 8yr old. Well to be fair he isn't/wasn't the average 8yr old, as he has been shooting since just after his 3rd birthday.
Anyway the point is give it a try. We have since dropped quite a few hogs up to around 250# and several nice sized E.TX deer all with one shot stops.
