You need 6.5 Creedmoor varmint ammo that hits hard at distance without overkill on hides. The Nosler Varmageddon 90-grain polymer tip is a flat-shooting, explosive varmint round engineered for prairie dog towns, coyote stands, and groundhog fields where shots stretch past 300 yards. At 3300 fps muzzle velocity and 2176 ft-lbs energy, this load delivers the flat trajectory and wind-bucking performance 6.5 Creedmoor is known for, scaled down to a weight class that maximizes fragmentation on varmint-sized targets. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact, and the flat base maintains supersonic stability through extended range windows. Each round is loaded in new brass with a Boxer primer — non-corrosive and reloadable for handloaders who want to experiment with seating depth and powder charge.
Built for the Box
Nosler weighs every powder charge and inspects flash hole alignment on each case before assembly. Case necks are sized, chamfered, and trued to ensure concentric bullet seating. The 90-grain Varmageddon projectile carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.35 and a sectional density of 0.184 — numbers that translate to predictable drop and minimal wind drift in field conditions. The polymer tip reduces drag in flight and drives expansion at impact velocities above 2200 fps. Brass cases are checked for correct length and visually inspected after loading. Each box holds 20 rounds, and the ammunition ships from the United States with DOT hazmat classification.

This load fits bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor ammo. Verify your rifle’s chamber and magazine compatibility before ordering. The high velocity and light bullet weight produce minimal recoil and allow rapid follow-up shots during prairie dog or ground squirrel sessions.
