Hornady Varmint Express 6.5 Creedmoor 95 Grain V-MAX – 20-Round Box
The Hornady Varmint Express 6.5 Creedmoor is a high-velocity, precision-tuned load designed to turn your long-range target rifle into the ultimate predator-hunting machine. While the 6.5 Creedmoor is often associated with heavy match bullets, this 95-grain V-MAX® loading pushes the caliber into a different realm of performance, achieving blistering muzzle velocities of 3,300 fps. This results in ultra-flat trajectories and explosive terminal energy, making it ideal for everything from prairie dogs to coyotes and foxes.
The heart of this cartridge is the famous V-MAX bullet. It features a streamlined polymer tip that increases the ballistic coefficient and acts as a wedge, driving into the lead core upon impact to initiate violent, rapid fragmentation even at extended ranges. Hornady’s AMP® (Advanced Manufacturing Process) bullet jackets ensure near-perfect concentricity, providing the match-grade accuracy required for small targets at distance. Every Varmint Express round is loaded with premium brass and carefully selected propellants that are matched to each specific load for optimal pressure and lot-to-lot consistency.
Whether you are clearing a field or protecting livestock, the Hornady 81481 load offers the reliability and "explosive" expansion that has made V-MAX the industry standard for specialized varmint hunting.
