Killed many a prairie dog with that round. It is significantly quieter than my 55gr loads through a can. As for accuracy I didn't put it on paper but it is minute of pdog out to ~300 yds.

It ended up being minute of rock chuck for me at 600 yrds this weekend.
I was surprised it was still matching up with my ballistic reticle at 600, but it was. I had a 7-8mph breeze out of my 8 o'clock, and we were shooting slightly up hill. The altitude and temp also helped. My first shot ended up about 12" right, as the breeze was not really easy to feel, but after the bullet cleared a slight hill in front of us, it was being hit pretty good from the left.
My second shot just missed low, maybe an inch, but my 3rd and 4th rounds found home.
My dad was impressed. He was sure it was too far. I've been trying for years to get him into ARs, as he has a huge gun collection, but he just isn't interested.
I tried to get him to shoot a few rounds out of it at other chucks, no dice. He had his Remington 700 VSSF in .22-250 and didn't want to shoot past 300yrds.
Anyway, it was anot her good day out with my dad, and I didn't have to chase any brass down the rock outcropping we were shooting off of.
