224 Valkyrie Gel Test – CMMG

You have to get past 500 yards before the .224 Val even catches the 6.5 Grendel in almost every area that counts. I’m not shooting past 300 yards so the .224val isn’t really that appealing. If I wanted to shoot 1000yards it would be from an ar 10. .224val makes no sense

I would like to see what the 90gr Fusion bullet does in Gel

Was really hoping to see the heavy bullet Gel tests. We have all see varmint bullet Gel tests but these heavy bullets are new with stuff all Gel tests to see. Damn shame in my opinion and missed the real potential of this video. We are craving heavy 224 bullet tests! Big deal about the 60gr… waste of time

Those CMMG barrels are supposed to be melonited, which I've heard is slicker than raw metal. I ordered one for my build.

Great review, thanks!

What twist rate is the barrel?

Awesome video! Very informative and answered all of my questions. Well done sir!

Checking out the numbers it looks like SBRs would do well too.

Great video! You included a lot of the info that I normally look for and a lot of people skip over. All while keeping it short. Thanks!

God damn you talk fast. But I'm not sure if that's good or bad hahaha. You get a lot of information to me really fast and it kept the video pretty short. Good video!

The Federal ammunition is very well made.

Your worried about your groups, is your barrel even broken in yet?

A coyote kill doesn't need a heavy bullet, 55 gr at 3,000 fps will do it well.

Just shoot the 224Grendel and you will have all these factory boys out performed, the 6mm grendel also outperforms the 6mmVal and 6.5val as well

good data

Thank you for sharing! Nice video! Can we have a weight on that beauty?

How does the brass look after firing?

What no 16" barrel? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Please take a hacksaw to the barrel and test the 60 grain bullets, go inch by inch 😁 use a pistol lower when you have to!

Love the caliber but that grouping is meh…maybe with a better barrel.

What's the point of 224 valkyrie when u can just go 6.5 n have a shorter barrel n lob a bigger bullet ur still hitting out to the same spot except u get more punch with a 6.5

First, thanks for the videos, I love arfcom.
I have not ran the numbers to compare 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, or the other less common hot ar variants, but I wasn’t that impressed. For the money why bother. If you want long range, why not go ar10 with a 6 or 6.5? I load my 5.56 75 gr bullets around 2500fps out of a 16” barrel and could go faster (no pressure signs, but at a good accuracy node). 8” more barrel, more expensive to shoot, just to play where the big boys do? I’d rather have a 6mm creedmoor; .243win, .260rem, or 6.5 creedmoor than trying to get an ar15 into what is best suited to an ar10. Even better, get a rpr, why bother with a semi auto trying to shoot 1000 yds. I get long and heavy for caliber projectiles, but why keep trying to stuff them into the constraints of an ar15 magazine. I can see it if someone is in the “more money than brains club”, but why keep making new fad calibers. Some are ok, but why keep chasing the latest greatest. Get what works best for your application, don’t buy into their marketing hype if you aren’t going to use it. There are already so many niche calibers out there, each trying to outdo the other.

Those groups look to me like the barrel is wanting more twist.

Gay. Knowone what’s a AR with a super long barrel

Whats the meplat diameter of the pointed 90gr SMK?
