The 224 Valkyrie is a relatively new cartridge designed for long-range shooting. Introduced in 2017 by Federal Premium Ammunition, it was designed specifically for the AR-15 platform, offering better ballistics and longer effective range than other .223/5.56 cartridges commonly used in that platform.
The 224 Valkyrie bullet has a streamlined design with a high ballistic coefficient, which helps it maintain its velocity and energy at long distances. This is achieved through a combination of a high-velocity muzzle, a narrow cartridge neck, and a long, heavy-for-caliber bullet. The 224 Valkyrie has an effective range of up to 1,300 yards, making it an excellent choice for long-range hunting and target shooting. Its popularity has been growing among enthusiasts who demand higher accuracy and greater energy delivery at longer distances.
