I do plan to work up a load using the 130gr Accubonds soon....

Do yourself a favor and try the Berger 130 VLD Match Hunting bullet before the AccuBonds . Well that is if you can find any right now !
That bullet in my 700 6.5-06 is pure poisen on deer or paper !
Didn't do to bad on an over zealouse red fox either
6pt-sika....what is the OAL of your cartridge with the VLD? I built my 6.5-06 on a military mauser and the mag box length limits the size of my cartridges... I have toyed with the idea of trying the berger bullets but the mag length is the fly in the ointment.
I live at Wynne, about 3.5 hours north of Lake Village...I used to be in a lease near Fordyce and we killed a few hogs down there...

The reamer I used was a standard 6.5-06...supposedly saami specs..but the throat sure seems short when using the sierra bullets..maybe the ogive on the bergers will make a difference...I use federal brass, my 6.5 06 was a tikka t3 varmint, I cant remember what inside magazine measures off hand, think ive got about 15 fow, as far as I know reamer was saami spec, not been throated for 140s, I chronied the 130gr vlds today, on 50.5grs of h4831sc gave an average of 2990fps over 5 shots, fastest was 2999fps
I do have a bit more room in my mag box than I have in the throat on that rifle....would take much reaming to match them up..even a little would help that throat...
