Frequently Asked Questions

Why is .224 Valkyrie paired with an 80.5-grain bullet specifically? The cartridge was designed around heavy, high-BC bullets like this one to maximize long-range performance from an AR-15-length action.

Is the Open Tip Match bullet built to expand on impact like a hunting bullet? No, the open tip is a byproduct of the match bullet’s precision manufacturing process, built purely for accuracy rather than terminal expansion.
