Can the 5.56 NATO be loaded to match the Valkyrie with longer bullets (90g), or will that be over the AR COL limit?

Could it be done in any factory bolt actions, or would it be a complete custom job?

EDIT: Wasn't the whole point of the NATO change to fast twist barrels to shoot heavier bullets? Isn't the long leade/throat why you shouldn't use 5.56 in .223?

All the ballistics comparisons I have seen have been with a .223

My thought here was have an AR for 3-Gun, then a bolt action for long range target and varmint.
NOTE: if el cheapo 5.56 can be had for less than what quality reloads would cost then it lessens the impact.

no, but no one has PROVEN the valkyrie at the 1000 yards plus it was hyped as.

90+5 of valkyrie rifles sold do not have a bbl long enough to get the advertised velocities.
lots of hype at this point little substance
there is a 224 valkyrie web site
