The Federal V65CRDVM95 Varmint & Predator ammunition delivers explosive terminal performance for long-range varmint hunting with match-grade accuracy. This 6.5 Creedmoor load combines Federal's precision manufacturing with Hornady's proven V-Max bullet technology for devastating results on prairie dogs, coyotes, and other predators. The polymer-tipped design ensures rapid expansion and complete energy transfer on impact.
What Makes This Different
This factory load achieves sub-MOA accuracy through Federal's strict quality control and optimized powder charges specifically developed for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. The 95-grain Hornady V-Max bullet maintains higher velocities than heavier hunting bullets, delivering flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at extended ranges. Federal's brass cases provide consistent chamber pressure and reliable extraction across multiple reloading cycles.
Key Features
- 95-grain Hornady V-Max polymer-tipped bullet for explosive expansion
- Optimized powder charge for 6.5 Creedmoor chamber specifications
- Federal brass cases with consistent wall thickness and primer pockets
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,185 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.365 for superior long-range performance
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers for reliable ignition
Field testing demonstrates consistent 0.75 MOA accuracy from quality bolt-action rifles, making this load effective on varmints beyond 400 yards. The V-Max bullet design fragments rapidly upon impact, minimizing pelt damage while ensuring immediate incapacitation. Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent velocities across seasonal hunting conditions, from summer prairie dog towns to winter predator calling.
