Hornady‘s Black line of .224 Valkyrie ammunition (brand part no. 81532) loads a 75-grain boat tail hollow point bullet matched specifically to this long-range AR-platform cartridge. Hornady Black selects bullet options for each specific caliber and application, whether the platform is supersonic or subsonic, suppressed or unsuppressed, rifle-length or short-barreled. The boat tail base improves the bullet’s ballistic coefficient for a flatter trajectory at distance, while the hollow point profile is tuned for the accuracy .224 Valkyrie shooters build the cartridge around. For shooters who want a factory load matched to their platform instead of a generic .22-caliber bullet, this rifle ammunition is built specifically for it.
