Unlike the new rifle, though, this one was actually chambered in 308 and based on the "Large Frame AR" platform. However, I would be remiss in discussing the 224 Valkyrie if I did not talk about the 22 Nosler. Even if we acknowledge that most of the Nosler product is match grade stuff with a heavier match bullet and move up to affordable brass cased 223 Rem with a 75gr BTHP, comparable Nosler ammo costs more than twice as much. Have yet to see a 224v that shoots well thats not a custom build. Trajectory: Though the two calibers use bullets of the same diameter, the .224 Valkyrie is capable of supporting longer, heavier designs for better aerodynamics, giving it a flatter, more dependable trajectory. But if you wanted more than just a simple addition of a small amount of speed, you are probably going to be very happy with 224 Valkyrie, because, while it does offer more speed than the 223 Rem, it also offers the ability to shoot heavier bullets.
