224 Valkyrie Ammo For Sale

The .224 Valkyrie is a modern AR-15 cartridge engineered for one thing above all:
long-range performance from a standard AR-15 platform. By driving heavy, high-
ballistic-coefficient .224 bullets efficiently, the Valkyrie stays supersonic well
past 1,300 yards — extraordinary reach for an AR-15 — with flat trajectory and low
recoil. It’s a favorite of long-range target shooters and varmint/predator hunters
who want serious distance capability without stepping up to a larger rifle. At
Trigger Ammo Store, we carry .224 Valkyrie ammunition for the range and the field.

What Is the 224 Valkyrie?

Introduced by Federal in 2018, the .224 Valkyrie is a .22-caliber (.224)
centerfire cartridge designed to maximize long-range performance in the AR-15. Based
on a 6.8 SPC-derived case necked to .224, it’s optimized to fire long, heavy,
high-BC bullets (up to 90 grain) that resist wind and retain velocity at extreme
range — all while fitting the AR-15 platform with a barrel/upper and magazine
change. The result is a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge that brings true
long-range capability to the AR-15 for the first time in a factory .22-caliber
chambering.

What Makes the 224 Valkyrie Special?

Long-range in an AR-15: Stays supersonic past 1,300 yards
with heavy high-BC bullets — exceptional for the platform.
Heavy high-BC bullets: Designed around long 80–90 grain
bullets that buck wind and hold velocity.
Low recoil: A .22-caliber cartridge, so recoil is mild —
easy to shoot accurately at distance.
AR-15 compatible: Runs in a standard AR-15 with the right
barrel/upper and magazine.

What Is 224 Valkyrie Good For?

Long-Range Target Shooting

Its heavy high-BC bullets and flat trajectory make it a standout AR-15 choice for
long-range precision and steel out past 1,000 yards.

Varmint & Predator Hunting

Flat-shooting and accurate at range, it’s excellent for coyotes and varmints at
extended distances.

AR-15 Long-Range Builds

For shooters who want maximum reach from the AR-15 platform without moving to a
larger rifle.

224 Valkyrie vs 22 Nosler

The two modern high-performance AR-15 .22 cartridges are natural rivals. The
.22 Nosler generally has a velocity edge with lighter-to-mid
bullets, making it a strong varmint/predator upgrade over the .223. The
.224 Valkyrie was purpose-built around very heavy, high-BC bullets
for extreme long range, giving it the edge for 1,000+ yard target work. Both are
excellent AR-15 upgrades over the .223 — the Valkyrie leans long-range/heavy-bullet,
the Nosler leans velocity/varmint. They are different, non-interchangeable cartridges
— match ammo to your barrel’s chambering.

Types of 224 Valkyrie Ammo We Carry

Match / Long-Range

Heavy high-BC match bullets (like the 90gr Gold Medal Sierra MatchKing) for
maximum long-range precision — the Valkyrie’s signature load.

Varmint / Polymer-Tip

Lighter, faster polymer-tip loads for varmint and predator hunting.

Soft Point / Hunting

Expanding bullets for predators and small/medium game where legal.

Common 224 Valkyrie Bullet Weights

The .224 Valkyrie spans a wide range. Lighter 60–75 grain loads
are fast and flat for varmints. The heavy 80–90 grain high-BC
match bullets are the cartridge’s defining loads — the long, heavy projectiles that
give it its extreme-range performance. The 90-grain match load is what put the
Valkyrie on the map for 1,000+ yard AR-15 shooting.

Top 224 Valkyrie Ammo Brands

As the cartridge’s creator, Federal offers the core .224 Valkyrie lineup,
including Gold Medal match and American Eagle loads. We also stock offerings from
Hornady and other makers as availability allows. From heavy match loads to varmint
ammo, you’ll find quality options for long-range and hunting use.

Availability & Buying Tips

As a modern specialty cartridge, .224 Valkyrie ammo is made by a smaller group of
manufacturers and isn’t stocked as deeply as the .223/5.56. For long-range work,
the heavy 90gr match loads are the key — buy them when in stock, ideally enough from
the same lot for consistency, and set a stock alert so you’re never caught short.

Shipping & Compliance

Orders ship quickly with secure, age-verified delivery in compliance with all
applicable federal, state, and local laws. By placing an order you confirm you are
at least 18 years of age (rifle ammunition; 21+ where required) and that it is
legal for you to purchase and receive ammunition at your delivery address. Some
states and localities restrict ammunition shipments — please review your local
regulations before ordering.
