95 vmax in the 6.5 creedmoor

[1raggedhole]

I have a Browning X bolt hells canyon speed in 6.5 Creedmoor that I bought for deer/antelope. Been thinking it would be fun to kill some yotes with a lighter bullet. Anyone had success with 95 v-max? What powder? Obviously I don’t care about the pelt.

I shot a half dozen or so coyotes and a couple of bobcats while in Mexico hunting mule deer last January with the 95 gr V Max. Did kill very well but definitely not fur friendly from a 6.5/284
I used Reloder 16 and that should also do well in the Creedmoor.
In the Creedmoor with light bullets two good powder choices are Varget and what I use ARComp

I use the common, cheap, readily available, easy measuring, made in the USA, Hodgdon H414 in my 6.5X47 Lapua with 95's, 100's & 120's. Should I need better consistency Re15 is the choice except with 140's but the concern here is with 95 Vmax bullets.

I have found H414 to be a good powder for light bullets. H414 is relatively dense and usually enough of it can be put into a case to get ideal pressures and velocities with light bullets - this being the case with the 6.5X47 Lapua and probably so with the slightly bigger 6.5 C. Being a ball powder it measures very consistently, an important factor when loading up 100 or more rounds of ammo for some rodent hunt.

It hurts to loose brass in the weeds and hurts even more when it is Lapua brass.
