.224 Valkyrie vs. 6.5 Grendel
Posted by Administrator on May 17, 2018 .This is for an AR-15 lover. What if your AR-15 could shoot in semi-automatic with sub-MOA accuracy to 1,000 yards and beyond? Now you can! But how? There are two calibers to consider.
The 6.5 Grendel and the .224 Valkyrie were designed to extend the range of the AR-15 beyond 1,000 yards. They each take a very different approach. The Grendel uses a heavier, longer, and fatter bullet that maintains supersonic flight past 1,200 yards. The Valkyrie uses a .224” diameter bullet that is longer and heavier than the .223 and stays supersonic past 1,300 yards.

Posted by Administrator on Jan 29, 2018 .

What Twist Rate to Choose for Your AR-15 5.56/.223 Rifle?
Posted by Administrator on Jan 02, 2018 .
The Modern AR-15 rifle. So many choices. And this
is always a Controversial topic - what barrel with what twist rate is
the best to use. The answer is pretty simple - depending what you will be
using your rifle for.
1-in-9 Inches
1-in-9 is a great compromise twist rate—not too fast to cause problems with the 55-grain Bullets, but fast enough to stabilize all but the heaviest bullets under most circumstances. This twist will stabilize most traditional bullets up to 75-grains, and monolithics up to 70-grains—but they do so right at the edge of the envelope so not all rifles will do it.
1-in-8 Inches
For a 16-inch general-use carbine,...
