    .224 Valkyrie

    Update on my gas port: I decided to open it up to 0.089” and now cycles my handloads using imr4320 at 15 clicks from seated instead of wide open at 20 clicks using an Odinworks adjustable gas block. Looks like I can turn it down a little as well using cfe223. Looked for pressure using 77 LRX...

    .224 Valkyrie

    I have virgin starline to try but have been using once fired federal from AE 75’s in my load workup. Seems to be holding up fine. Sized and trimmed after first firing then sized after second firing and no case stretch, all are measuring 1.590-1.591”. See how many reloads I’ll get before the...

    .224 Valkyrie

    Rifle length gas. To make it fool proof with reloads and using an adjustable gas block I think .089” would be optimal. Rifle is running great now, but have to run the block wide open to lock back with my reloads.

    .224 Valkyrie

    It will affect the appearance is all unless it is caked in carbon or has crap impregnated in the brass. Just remember if you wet tumble you will have to dry lube the inside of the necks. Tumbling in corn cob or walnut you will be fine as there is still some carbon left over in the neck for aide...

    .224 Valkyrie

    I modified both ar stoner mags and a pri mag. Hacksaw and dremel to window the magazine. The pri mags are definitely a better mag though. Both function just fine after the modification.

    .224 Valkyrie

    Here is a load I worked up to and just need to adjust seating depth for better accuracy. I am still waiting on an oal gauge to get precise distance from lands measurements. I contacted my barrel manufacturer and it has the longer freebore. I have also modified my magazines to run an oal if...

    Critique my annealing..

    My rp brass looks the same, but I only come an 1/8" below the shoulder with the blue. The nosler brass that I use also shows some blue just not as much. Also add a little lube to the necks to help with the scratching when resizing and make sure your die doesn't have any brass shavings in it...
