[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2429686, member: 8907"] The 22 Valkyrie has very little traction overall so, I would avoid it personally. To be honest I think it solves a problem that generally doesn't exist. The 6.8SPC is a similar cartridge that is hugely more effective at everything except varminting IMHO. I get the Valkyrie marketing but, it really was an evolution of the 5.56 AMU efforts with heavyweight projectiles in competitions where they just couldn't get the 5.56 loads to perform at long range like they needed. The Valkyrie gave them heavyweight target loads with enough room left in the case to drive them well. For the skill levels of normal "new" shooters, thinking they need a round to take a deer at 400 yards is a mistake IMHO. While not a huge fan of 300 Black Out supersonic loads, I'd take those any day over the Valkyrie for ranges most new shooters will train and hunt at. Something like a 6x223 or a 257 Rigby or 243 Winchester would all be easy choices for most IMHO. [/QUOTE]
