95 gr.V-max in a 6.5 x 47 lapua

I'm curious about this myself. I'd like to try that or the 100 Nosler BT for p-dog hunting. In my 6.5-284, the 100 was a laser and provided some nasty kills.
 
95 V-max 39.5gr Varget CCI 450 Small Rifle Mag. primer 3240fps.

cloverleaf groups.

as always.... start with a lesser charge.

Thanks Shooter, I will be trying this bullet in my MOA pistol. Have you used it on any sort of critters, like woodchucks or coyotes?
 
@tylerw02,

Try this one, it is sub 0.5 moa 5 round groups...

Nosler 100 gr. ballistic tips, CCI 450 primers, 40.0 grs. of RL-15, and an OAL of 2.700".

Hope this hepls.

Eric
 
With 95vmax the best I found was 43.7 h4350 oal 2.525 sub moa at 3150fps in 26inch barrel. FWIW a crow shot with this leaves a splash over a 4ft area.
 
I use 75 gr V-max,36 gr of varget gives me 3750 fps out of a 24" barrel.This will put 3 into .7" at 300 and is devastating on the cute and cuddlies

In a 6.5x47 Lapua??? Where you getting 6.5mm 75 amax from? Guess its a 6mm of some description?

I'd like to try out the 95 gr Vmax too.
I have used 123gr Amax on small game (rabbits, hares and this Aussie invader).
A neck shot at only 100m, very humane.
 
This works for me.
All bullet holes touching.
I have a 9 twist in mine

100 yds, 5-shots
Hornady 95 gr. V-Max, Re-15 39.5 gr.
Length base to Ogive 2.078”

Vavg = 3178 Vhi = 3191 Vlo = 3159 Sd = 15 Es = 39.2
