Any one shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor that are using the 85 grain Sierra or 95 grain V Max bullets for groundhogs or coyotes? What powders are you having the best luck with?

I have not hunted with V Max yet but it shoots very good for me. I have only tried IMR 4064 but every charge from 39 to 41 gr shoots good. 3000 to 3200 fps running a coal of 2.650. I like 39 or a little more as its very pleasant to shoot and it has plenty of speed as well as being easier on the barrel. Varget is almost a perfect replacement for 4064 and it is less sensitive to temp changes. I really want a coyote with this load and will report back if manage it.
