HORNADY 22601 V-MAX 6.5MM .264 95 GRAIN 100 CNT

Hornady V-Max 6.5mm .264 Caliber 95 Grain Reloading Bullets (22601) are a precision-engineered component bullet built for varmint hunters and reloaders who demand explosive terminal performance from a 6.5mm rifle platform. Designed as a flat-shooting, high-accuracy varmint bullet for 6.5mm cartridges, this 100-count box gives reloaders a consistent, proven projectile to build handloads around.

Key Features

• Manufacturer part number: 22601
• Caliber: 6.5mm, .264 diameter
• Bullet weight: 95 grains
• Bullet type: V-Max polymer tip, boattail design
• G1 ballistic coefficient: 0.365
• Sectional density: 0.195
• Minimum expansion velocity: 1,600 fps
• AMP match-grade bullet jacket construction
• Count per box: 100
• Application: Varmint hunting and target shooting

Special Features

• The V-Max polymer tip sits over a hollow cavity that drives inward on impact, triggering rapid core fragmentation even at lower terminal velocities as low as 1,600 fps.
• Hornady uses a swaged lead core process that forms the core precisely around the tip stem, creating a controlled energy transfer on impact that produces dramatic expansion and jacket-core fragmentation.
• The AMP bullet jacket provides concentricity that meets match-grade standards, giving handloaders the consistency needed for tight groups at extended distances.
• The aerodynamic boattail profile and sharp polymer tip work together to produce a high ballistic coefficient of 0.365, helping these 6.5mm bullets resist wind drift and maintain velocity downrange.
• The maximum bearing surface built into the V-Max profile adds in-flight stability without sacrificing the flat trajectory this bullet is known for.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with all common 6.5mm cartridges including the 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, and 6.5x55 Swedish, making them a versatile component for reloaders who load for multiple rifles.
• The 95-grain weight keeps velocities high in faster 6.5mm cartridges, giving varmint hunters the flat trajectory and explosive expansion needed for clean, efficient field performance at varying distances.
• The 100-count pack gives you a practical quantity for developing and testing loads while keeping your component inventory stocked for a full season.
• Reloaders looking for a consistent, accurate varmint bullet ideal for prairie dog, ground squirrel, and similar small game hunting will find the 6.5mm V-Max delivers the performance and reliability your handloads deserve.

The Hornady V-Max 6.5mm .264 95 Grain (22601) is a capable tool for the serious varmint hunter and handloader looking for a dependable option in the 6.5mm bullet category.
