[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 2939321, member: 125161"] 224 Valkyrie ran into issues immediately with some first batch reamers. Then barrel twist questions about 6.5 vs 7 for the 90s Federal was selling. I was an early adopter and built a 20 inch upper with 6.5 twist in 224V - it does well with Federal brass and 80 ELDMs over H4895. 224V seems to work better with 80s vs 90s. I am almost out of 80ELDMs and will switch to 75ELDMs as they seem available. I just got a great deal on a Craddock 224V upper and plan on using it for "gas gun" matches with the 75 or 80 ELDMs. I have 223, 224V, 6ARC, and 65 Grendel uppers so I see the strengths and weaknesses of each. There is another line of cartridges also based on 350 Legend - 6 MAX and 22 MAX. Uses the original 223 bolt. That interests me even more. [/QUOTE]
