[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2133321, member: 2939"] I originally bought the Val to address short comings of the .223 AR platform. I tried target shooting with a 24 inch .936 inch gas block heavy AR. I found out that .223 is limited by the mag. length which equates out to about 75 gr ballistic tipped bullets. Heavier bullets go so much down in the case that it displaces the max powder load. The Valkyrie short fat case and long throat address that problem. As a cheap to shoot varmint rifle I give it a thumbs up. Little more power than .223 Once for ground squirrel hunting trip I did try CFE 223 and the 69 grain Sierra bullet. Loaded to just under 3200 fps. My friends were getting everything under 200 yards and I was tearing them up way out there. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
