[QUOTE="GunsnFitness, post: 1473033, member: 104411"] [USER=106807]@280aiyote[/USER] that all lines up with the research I have done. I like the idea of the .224 Valkyrie but as you said out to 500 there’s no real difference than the .223 Rem... and let’s be honest, I call coyotes and rarely do I have to shoot that far. I have been looking into most manufactured complete setups and most come with a standard 18-20” barrel... and in my mind that just doesn’t work (optimization perfectionist). Like you said the round is made for longer barrels in order to achieve the ballistics and the 90g SMK that federal designed the round for is all tested on 24” barrels so why spend the money on something I know won’t perform at its best.
