.224 Valkyrie

If I was shooting 6.8 I think I’d be all on this already especially if I was reloading.
I think I’m gonna watch it still for awhile.
Building. My C3 billet upper and lower and a White Oak barrel and bolt is as far as I've gotten on a parts list.
Meh. Starting around .50 per pew for cheap stuff. I think this round is gonna stick around though. I'm gonna get more into reloading though.
I think this is one of the determining factors that will make this round stick. Wildcats always seem to price themselves out of popularity.
Well, the real wildcat'ers out there tend to like making their own brass and doing all the reloading. That's half the fun of shooting something that no one else has.
Today's "wildcat" rounds tend to come in a box- and they're expensive. I remember Dad talking about being the only guy at the range with a particular rifle- he loved it and made the rounds using parent cases in other calibers.
Very interesting numbers.
