Im seriously considering selling my ruger 22-250 and getting a 224 valkyrie barrel, bolt, and good trigger for my AR for predator hunting and long range steel plinking. Anybody have any experience with this round?
I like the sounds of that. Im not big on selling my stuff but lately I have been trying to reduce the amount of reloading supplies to have on hand. And if I can get sub moa factory ammo that saves a ton of time.Yep, sold my Rock River 6.8 barrel and bought a Ballistic Specialties Ultralight stainless fluted 224 barrel and carbon handguard. Cut over a pound from my coyote rifle. Took to indoor 100 yd underground range we have here and shot 1/2 inch groups! (match ammo, Fusions not so good, have not tried new Hornady ELDX load yet but I bought a box)Right with the best of any bolt gun I have owned.
I like the versatility of a much heavier bullet for larger game. Cool round. Had my CDS cap set up for it.
Many of the 224 barrels come with a fitted bolt face included. Easy swapAs much as I like a .545 bc bullet at 2700ish
It’d be hard to leave .384 bolt face when a guy can buy 2850fps in a .4bc package for 43cents a pop.
