Yes, keep the 224V content coming. I just started playing with StaBall Match in mine with 90 SMK bullets. I'm intrigued by the 22 ARC but not sure I want to be an early adopter. Anyway. I'm a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.

Hey Logan, great video. You mentioned the seating ring your die leaves on the bullet. I shoot several valkyries including a UPR-15. I too have experienced the same ring. What I have found is when I run them through the F/L sizing die they are very tight. Heavy neck tension. When I load for my UPR-15 I run a F/L Bushing die with .002 neck tension and I don't get any ring. If I load for the Gas gun (AR-15) I run through a std Redding F/L die then through a Sinclair mandrel die. When I run the T/C die I run it a bit on the medium side. I know it works my brass a bit more than normal, but it tends not to leave the ring. My UPR-15 didn't like the heavier bullets either. It does shoot a Hornady 75 ELD-M and 80 ELD_M quites well. My gas gun with 20' barrel loves the 75gr ELD-M with IMR3031. I predominately run Hornady and Starline brass through my valkyries. The Federal brass seems to have higher inconsistencies and shorter life. Mainly the primer pockets.

@500spectre When the Valkyrie 1st came out. Some NON SPEC CHAMBER REAMERS GOT OUT! Those issues have washed thru the system! A new 1400yrd range near me just opened! Its been nice to stretch out the valks! At 1000 the valk doesnt have too much steam to rock the heavy steel at this range. Fresh paint on steel really helps! Valk is BAD PRAIRIE DOG MEDICINE

Hey Logan, nice video. One of my favorite bullets for 224 Valkyrie is the 85 grain Barnes Match Burners. The ogive is crazy far forward for the bullet length, so you can load them right off the lands. My OAL is 2.23; any longer and they won't chamber. These bullets give great groups, and I'm thinking it is because you can load them so close to the lands and still fit in the magazine.

Hornady makes bullet specific seating stems for the eld to fit their custom grade dies and leave no ring. Heard that you can also polish the inside of the seating stem to correct that I recently bought the chargemaster link but I couldn't get it to throw a charge was drifting wildly and never stable no matter what I tried. Returned it for a rcbs uniflow 3 and a beam scale.

I love the Valkyrie content. I think it'd be worth loading 77gr if you can find it, seeing if you can get a consistent (but higher speed than 223) load out of 224V. I also think you should do tighter, .2gr powder jumps around where you thi,k your ideals are. It's more superstition but I feel like you should pull those 88gr back to 2.250 OAL, and see if 7 shots of that and 2.245 give you any notable changes in accuracy (5 shot isn't quite statistically representative).

I just grabbed some 75s since they were available. I can try to push on those a bit compared to 223. As far as powder charges I’m not really looking to tune anything on the first tests I’m getting a feel for velocity increase across a broader range of charge weights. I can play with a different OAL for sure. Not sure I’m going to switch to 7 shot groups
