I read an article this morning that ballisticians recommend 24'' barrels for the Valkyrie. Does anyone have any thoughts on barrel length? Formidilosus, I'm especially interested in your input.
The Valk works fine in all barrel lengths. I personally don’t like long barrels and would go 18” max.
Better terminal ballistics?
A 90 224 make mo damage than a 243 90grain?

Different for the same bullet type. So imagine a 90gr Hornady ELD-M or similar for both. That’s is a fragmenting bullet that as it penetrates it’s peeling the nose off until it fragments completely or it looses enough mass to cease penetration. The .224 version has more bullet to peel off. You’ll get deeper penetration with similar width of wounding versus the .243 version.
