The Hornady V-Max 6.5mm .264 95gr bullet is a polymer-tipped varmint round built for reloaders who demand flat trajectories and reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. These match-grade projectiles combine aerodynamic design with consistent construction, making them a solid choice for precision varmint hunting and long-range shooting where bullet performance matters. Each box contains 100 bullets ready to load.
What sets the V-Max apart is its polymer tip—engineered to boost ballistic coefficient while initiating rapid, dramatic expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. The swaged lead core is precisely formed around the tip's stem cavity, creating a energy-buildup chamber that produces violent fragmentation on impact. This design philosophy means you get reliable terminal performance whether you're shooting prairie dogs at distance or pushing velocities hard from a magnum platform.
The concentricity control built into Hornady's match-grade jacket design helps deliver maximum accuracy at all ranges. Depending on the specific V-Max variant, you'll get either boattail or flatbase geometry chosen to maximize in-flight stability and bearing surface. The aerodynamic profile and extended bearing surface work together to keep these bullets stable downrange, a critical advantage when shooting long.
For the reloader, V-Max bullets are a proven option in the 6.5mm caliber—widely used and loaded by shooters who understand that bullet choice directly impacts both accuracy and terminal results. Whether you're working up loads for a lightweight varmint rifle or a heavier long-range platform, this 95-grain offering gives you the performance foundation to handload ammunition tailored to your rifle and hunting goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What velocities do these V-Max bullets need to expand?
The polymer tip is engineered to initiate expansion even at velocities as low as 1600 fps, giving you reliable performance across a wide velocity spectrum whether you're running standard or magnum loads.
Are these bullets suitable for precision long-range shooting?
Yes. The match-grade jacket concentricity, high ballistic coefficient, aerodynamic profile, and extended bearing surface are all designed to maximize accuracy and stability at distance. They're equally at home on the range as in the field.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 100 Hornady V-Max bullets, giving you a full box to work with for your reloading bench.
What's the difference between Hornady V-Max and other varmint bullets?
The V-Max combines a polymer tip with a swaged lead core that features an energy-buildup cavity beneath the tip's stem. This design produces dramatic fragmentation on impact. The match-grade jacket concentricity also ensures consistent accuracy that you can rely on shot after shot.
