Yes, it is OK accuracy wise, and it is also a hot load with good velocity. The best accuracy wise (right now) is Norma 156 grain. Hornady will soon be making ammo from this Yugo brass with a 162 grain round nose, just like the Italian milsurp.

In case you haven't heard, Norma and PRVI (Yugoslavian) are the only reliable ammo you can buy right now. The problem is that they use the same diameter bullet that is loaded in the 6.5 Swede, which is .264 diameter. Italian rifles have a .268 diameter bore, so these two varieties are not as accurate as they would be with a .268 bullet.

This is why Steve Hornady and Dave Emary are beginning production of a .268 bullet which they will begin loading sometime this year.
