While many shooters may never even attempt a shot at that range, others will find this distance not only enjoyable, but highly effective.<\/p>\n<p>So should you add a .224 Valkyrie rifle to your gun safe?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-Valkyrie-Rifle-at-the-range.jpg\" alt=\"A Savage 224 Valkyrie rifle at a shooting range\" width=\"1500\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-Valkyrie-Rifle-at-the-range.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-Valkyrie-Rifle-at-the-range-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-Valkyrie-Rifle-at-the-range-1024x433.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>224 Valkyrie Dimensions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bullet Diameter: .2245 inches<\/li>\n<li>Rim Diameter: .422 inches<\/li>\n<li>Case Length: 1.6 inches<\/li>\n<li>Total Length: 2.26 inches<\/li>\n<li>Common Bullet Size: Roughly 60 to 90 grains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>History of the .224 Valkyrie<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Looking-through-optic-downrange-with-rifle.jpg\" alt=\"Looking through the scope of a rifle downrange\" width=\"1500\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Looking-through-optic-downrange-with-rifle.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Looking-through-optic-downrange-with-rifle-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Looking-through-optic-downrange-with-rifle-1024x470.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although a highly effective round for hunting, the history of this cartridge is rooted in competition shooting. Before its release, large platform cartridges like .308 Winchester and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/a-look-at-6-5-creedmoor\/\">6.5 Creedmoor<\/a> dominated long-distance competition. These cartridges were useful, but there was a growing demand for a small-platform round that could still be accurate and effective at 1,000 yards or more. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/rifle-ammo-223-556\">223 Remington ammunition<\/a>, while extremely popular, simply did not reach these distances with consistency.<\/p>\n<p>To meet this need, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/index.php\/cName\/federal-ammo\">Federal Ammunition<\/a>, one of the most successful ammo companies in the world, took their 6.5 SPC cartridge to start. Then, they slimmed down the neck so it would hold a smaller bullet. In essence, the .224 Valkyrie uses the same amount of propellant (give or take) as 6.5 SPC and uses it to launch a lighter bullet. The result is a fast-moving, long-flying round that can, with relative accuracy and sustained energy, strike a target at 1,000 feet or more.<\/p>\n<p>Some cartridges still in use today, as we have noted, have over a century of history behind them. But the .224 Valkyrie, released in 2017, has very little. For this reason, some hunters and shooting enthusiasts are hesitant to adopt the round. Instead, they&#8217;re waiting to see if it gains popularity; if it doesn\u2019t, owners will be stuck with a rifle for which ammunition is rare and expensive. But it seems that with such deadly accuracy and long-distance power, this round will be used for a variety of purposes. And the more versatile a round, the more uses it will find. In essence, the .224 Valkyrie seems like it will stick.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance of the .224 Valkyrie<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-valkyrie-ammo-on-a-shooting-bench.jpg\" alt=\"224 valkyrie ammo on a shooting bench\" width=\"1500\" height=\"471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-valkyrie-ammo-on-a-shooting-bench.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-valkyrie-ammo-on-a-shooting-bench-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/224-valkyrie-ammo-on-a-shooting-bench-1024x322.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your performance with .224 Valk depends heavily on the specific product you fire as well as the rifle which you are using. However, when you look at the statistics for the .224 Valkyrie, you see that this is a fast, energetic round. It delivers a straight trajectory with most commercially loaded ammo and factory built rifles.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-57\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-57\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">Muzzle Velocity<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Velocity at 500 Yards<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">60 Grain V-MAX<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3,300 fps<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,690 fps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">78 Grain Barnes TSX<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2,850 fps<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,774 fps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">90 Grain MatchKing<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2,700 fps<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1,961 fps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-57 from cache -->\n<p class=\"Body\">With muzzle speeds as high as 3,300 fps (feet-per-second) among the products we looked at, this cartridge comes out of the barrel with a fast velocity.

For instance, firing the 90 grain Sierra MatchKing from Federal, we consistently fired at 2600+ fps from the rifle.

This downrange speed, which translates into straighter trajectories and more impact energy, is due in large part to the bullet\u2019s excellent <span class=\"Hyperlink0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/what-is-ballistic-coefficient\/\">ballistic coefficient<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">\n<table id=\"tablepress-56\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-56\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">Muzzle Energy<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Energy at 500 Yards<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">60 Grain V-MAX<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1,451 ft-lbs<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">380 ft-lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">78 Grain Barnes TSX<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1,407 ft-lbs<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">545 ft-lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">90 Grain MatchKing<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1,457 ft-lbs<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">768 ft-lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-56 from cache --><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">The energy delivered by this cartridge is also impressive, but it\u2019s (once again) the energy downrange that impress most shooters.

One of those purposes is target shooting, and since this cartridge basically came out of that realm, that\u2019s where will start.<\/p>\n<p>Shooters who enjoy target shooting, especially competition shooting, will be pleased with the .224 Valkyrie. It\u2019s gaining a reputation as one of the most straight-shooting rounds in the market. Thanks to it\u2019s adoption in modern sporting rifles (\u201cAR-style\u201drifles), you can also fire it at rapid paces. Ifg you&#8217;re like me, this means more fun at the range and a better chance of success in a competition.<\/p>\n<p>For many gun owners, quite frankly, finding a range where you can use the .224 Valkyrie to its highest potential will be the biggest challenge. For some of us, finding ranges of 1,000 or 1,500 feet is tough.<\/p>\n<p>The other common use for the .224 Valkyrie is hunting, especially long-distance hunting. This cartridge, as we have noted, delivers excellent power and accuracy at over 1,000 yards. While skillful, practiced shooting is always required, hunters can have more confidence in their shots and take longer aim at game animals. The same goes for landowners who want to maintain a varmint or pest population. You can achiever coyote control, for example, at a longer distance with this round.<\/p>\n<h3>Ammo for All Your Shooting Activities<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hornady-224-Valkyrie-ammo-with-a-rifle.jpg\" alt=\"Hornady .224 Valkyrie ammo with a rifle at the range\" width=\"1500\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hornady-224-Valkyrie-ammo-with-a-rifle.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hornady-224-Valkyrie-ammo-with-a-rifle-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hornady-224-Valkyrie-ammo-with-a-rifle-1024x418.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether you need rounds for hunting, target shooting, or personal protection, you\u2019ll find everything you need right here.
