6.5 CM 95 vmax

What's everyone think of the 6.5 creedmoor loaded with 95 vmax?

Have been using the 140 eld on groundhogs with good luck but the 95 has caught my eye. Thanks

I grabbed a box to play with, used profile 3 on my Flir and hit a coyote with it. I aimed for the shoulder for shits and giggles and was not disappointed. Im not sure if a ground hog has enough mass to even make them expand but its worth a shot.

I loaded some up last year and they are pretty good! Loaded them up at 3000fps and they destroyed Prairie Dogs!

How were they in the wind?

Only shot out to 300yds so I didn't get a good chance to check them on wind. Might be testing some in the near future now that all the snow is gone.

Picked up like 5 boxes still haven’t shot them. This is called practice ammo on those prairie dogs lol can’t wait to use them

They work great in my 6.5x47, no recoil and shoot a great group.

I've spun them up in the 6.5 SAUM to 3900fps. Imagine you could probably get 3200-3400 in a creedmoor with appropriate powder. The 3900 load was pretty hot in the SAUM, 3700-3800 is probably more realistic.

Worked up a load in my buddy’s 6.5 for coyotes .... final load was right at 3325 with 1/2 moa accuracy out to 500. He shot a dog at 70 yrds that came In to the call straight on shot and it hammered him. Pencil hole in, no exit but the dog felt like a wet sack of shit.

They have a .182 g7 if you’d Like to punch them in to a calculator.

I’ve shot them a bit. Usually around 3200 fps. They never seem to shoot ragged holes for me, but I can usually manage 3/4 moa with them. Way way overstabilized in an 8 twist.

Here’s one next to a 140 eld
