I've been interested in the Valk since its release, but have held off since most have seemed to have trouble finding good accuracy and consistency. Seems to be a little better now, and I am still wanting to build one, bad.
I have a 223 built, 18" white oak barrel. 7 twist. Rifle gas. My plans are to try 68gr hornady and 77gr SMK for loads. Seems speeds are usually around the 2700fps mark with these bullets in 18". With the 224V, I would run a 20" and should be able to push the 90gr bullets at similar speeds.
Is it worth parting ways with my 223 barrel and changing over the the Valkyrie?
