.224 Valkyrie vs 6mm ARC 

I'm on my 3rd 224 valkyrie. Started with savage AR 18" tube. It shot sub MOA out of the box. Best group with handloads was a .4. I have a Wilson Combat 22" that I've shot .3 with 85 nosler pushed by 2000MR. I also have a Shaw barreled upper 20" tube that is also half MOA rifle. With the Savage I had 6k rounds down tube and it was still sub MOA Going P Dog shooting in 3 weeks, I'm stoked!! Have had all of the them 1000yrds. No Valkyrie problems EVER with mine!

I purchased all the components to do a 224 build before I had heard of the 6mm Arc. I was a little bummed out because the 6mm has Superior ballistics and a lot of people are skeptical of the 224 because of it's issues, but this video makes me feel a lot better.

This was a great side by side comparison and has pushed me closer to building a 224 Valkyrie bolt gun.

The ARC velocity seems my more sensitive to barrel length then the Valk. My 24" spits factory match @ 2750. Verified through two chronos. 28.8gr LVR got 107smks running 2760fps and .6moa

Yup, the bolt gun is the way to go. I really love my 26" Valk and it's such a dream to shoot suppressed.

Great comparison and great shooting! I'm shooting the 6ARC at 1k (its a poverty pony). 105 Bergers over LL with Starline brass (about 1500 down the tube, and a LOT more loaded and ready to send). With the Valdada 16x fixed optic zeroed at 600, I can shoot 100 - 1000 no dialing just holds. Haven't tried 1250 yet but its on the attempt list. I won't waste Small Rifle Primers on anything else, I'm sold on this caliber. 223 is dead to me. Press or cry like the rest...

Great fun and a great facility! I am jealous I couldn't be there to come out and shoot with you guys! Very nice video! HCR is the best gun builder in the country and great guys to deal with. Looking forward to shooting my new HCR 280 AI.

I love em both with manufacture barrels and d twist rate going to coustom length and twist barrels for both. And the are gas guns and can hold tight groups in a ten round completion. Thanks for shorting up my confidence.

Great video. I have both the 224 Valkyrie and the 6mm ARC In the AR15 platform and also the 6.5 Grendel. We the Grendel is loaded with the same weight or about same weight as the 6mm ARC there is very little to no difference in the ARC & Grendel at 1000'yds using same weight projectile.There is more wind drift with 224 Valkyrie than my 6.5 Grendel.Not much difference in wind drift in 224 Valkyrie and 6mm ARC

Now this is how u do a comparison. Amazing job

Awesome video, amazing shooting.

I did pick lol I bought a barrel from Ballistic Advantage in 6Arc I love it . I went with a 24” barrel I think I’m going to look at another barrel 18-20” . I also like the idea of necking down the 6mm Arc brass to .224 I think it will be better than the Valkyrie

1- 6.5 Twist is where i stuck to. .224 is an awsome round. 6mm Arc is my next test. My friend and i swapped weapons and he went and picked up a .224 immediately.

The Valkyrie is very impressive in a bolt gun.

That Hornady Factory ammo in 6 ARC is designed to be gas gun safe. If you use their “Bolt Gun” hand load data, how does much difference do you see?

Awesome video comparison thank you

It would be interesting to compare both handloaded, as they are loaded way down from the factory

Awesome video!

I was thinking of heading that way to shoot at FTW range, but I’m a little bit away, so I thought I would try to do a camping trip out of the deal. Can you recommend any good campsites or areas near you?

Why bolt guns for the comparison? I thought the big advantage for both these cartridges was the AR platform? When compared to the other bolt options in this range ( 22-250, 6mm gt, 6mm br., etc...) they are not that special.

I’m suprissed the 6ARC velocity is that low.

I have an AR15 chamber in 224 it works very well but I'm having a hard time to find a perfect scope for it

I think as a "hunter" I'll go with a little more energy. 6 arc.

Why is the information on the 224 blurred out

The Gun industry needs to start making 6mm ARC AR15s in 16 and 18 in barrels to get it mainstream. Seems like the best Caliber so far for an AR platform

These are great for semi auto gas guns, But for bolt action, I'm surprised you don't choose 220 swift or 243AI/6mm Creedmoor instead

You’re getting extremely slow velocities out of that 20” barrel. Eld m 108 I’m getting 2640 out of 18” proof

Russian “Sumrack” - SVLK-14S Twilight: 4210m!!!!! Russians Best!!!

LOVE THE 6arc HAVE THE UNTIAH 22'' ON A AR PLATFORM (bolt)
