Trying out some 140gr accubonds in my 6.5 CM over the weekend, and I only have 2 powders to try right now so I made up 6 different loads based off nosler's load data - H4350 and IMR4350 with 41.5, 39.5, and 37.5.
The best group for me was the IMR4350 with 37.5, followed pretty closely by H4350 with 41.5 (1/2" and 3/4"). According to noslers data, that H4350 load is going about 2700fps, and the IMR load is going about 2453fps.
For hunting, would you sacrifice a little accuracy (.25moa) for another 250fps? I worry about bullet performance at longer distances if I start out too slow of a muzzle velocity, but maybe it's not an issue?
