Does anyone have any experience with a 95 grain v max out of a 6.5 creedmoor? My 243 AI got put on hold and I want to shoot some yotes. I have an 8 twist barrel. If you have experience what kind of velocity and groups. What powder are you using? Thanks for any input.

you wont have any issues, 8 twist at 3200-3300 fps will be under max RPMs. ive noticed light for caliber v maxs have worked well in the majority of calibers ive used.

That 95 gr will probly put a fist size hole in them!!! im jealous

What is the formula to calculate the rpm? I always have twist rate questions and if I had a mathematical formula it sure would be nice

(MV x 720)/twist rate. for RPMS http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2008/06/calculating-bullet-rpm-spin-rates-and-stability/

Berger stability calc for stability http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/

Sometimes twist calculator shows bullet is unstable but if MV and RPMS are high enough they will stabilize

Ah, careful grasshopper. 3300fps is 297,000rpm. Barrel smoothness dependant, Hornady claims a Max RPM limit of @ 290,000 rpm.

Try the 100 grain A-Max. They were explosive on long rangeP-Dogs. I was using my 260.

I use the 95 grain vmax in my 260. Absolutely love it and it is more explosive than any other bullet I tried including the 100 a max. Anybody know where i can buy more of them?
