Good day all,
I know another 224 Valkyrie post.
I need some help from the gunsmiths here. I want to build a fun project.
I have a brand new Howa KRG Bravo 223 rem 1-9 twist stainless 24" bull barrel.
I want to convert it to a 224 Valkyrie and shoot the 70gr RDF. I know the cartridge was designed to have a 1-7 twist but I do not have the luxury of buying another barrel or shoot the expensive hornady/sierra bullets. I want this to be a plinking rifle out to 800 yards that is cheap to reload.
Now I want to know:
1) Is it possible ?
2) Will it stabilize?
3) willI be able to keep at least 23.75" of mu barrel
Unfortunately I am not living in the states so resources are scares in terms of barrels with the correct twist.
Thanks in advace
