.224 valkyrie case info
Weighed 5 mt unfired cases out of the bag. 113.6, 114.2,113.5,113.6,114.3 grains. Added spent primers to 2 for 117.4 and 117.1 grains. weighed 2 fired .223 cases. 1 LC and 1 hornady for 95.4 and 95.7. Both fired .223 water cap ended up at 30.9 grains water -- level full --. The 2 unfired .224 valk weighed 31.4 and 31.2 grains -- level full -- fired .204 ruger = 32.2 water level full. The valk cases weigh around 18 grains more than .223. I wonder how much h20 cap the fired .224 valk cases will gain. This is a .223 and a .224 valkyrie with a 52 grain a-max at oal of 2.260. Think a .20 berger 55 might fit nice in a ar. Just spitballing.

I ordered a bullberry 17 form die and some 32 grain reeds bullets just to mess around for now. Found the fired h20 cap on u-tube. 32.2 grains

so why didnt you measure 224V case capacity in H2O?
Thats what everyone wants to know ....actually info needed is actual case capacity comparison to bottom of neck for 223 and 224V with most common powder likely to use say Benchmark or H4895 extreme |

Here goes nothing. Ramshot tac - fine ball powder full to bottom of neck
.224 valkyrie unfired case = 30.5 grains .27" neck length 1.60" case length .223 hornady fired case = 30.3 grains .203" neck length 1.76" case length .204 ruger fired case = 31.4 grains Did this with uncalibrated eyeballs and a flashlight. .224 valkyrie fired case is said to have about 1.3 grains more h20 capacity level full.

interesting data. so in essence they basically get .223ai ballistics but in a mag friendly cartridge.
so in a bolt gun it would still be wiser to just do a .223ai throated to maximize case capacity with what ever bullet you intend on running. |
