224 Valk reloading

[bighunter23]

Anybody ever loaded some up for the Valkyrie? I’m thinking about developing a few 50 and 53 vmax loads for coyotes. Any thoughts or experiences? First time I’ve ever loaded for an AR platform. I have some benchmark on the shelf but can only find a load online for a 50 grain sierra BK.

I load the Valkyrie, I've never done the 50 but a pretty good load for the 53gr vmax is 27.2gr of h4895 loaded long. I did a 34 gr varmint grenade but that didn't group, did it just for giggles.

My Valkyrie barrel has a 1:7 twist. So I go for heavier bullets. The smallest bullet I load for is a Nosler 64gr bonded using IMR 4895 at 2967fps. Also I use a small base die for auto loaders. Look at loads using heavier bullets. There should be more load data for them.
