Federal Gold Medal 224 Valkyrie 80.5gr Berger OTM Match Ammo

The Federal GM224VLKBH2 Premium Gold Medal delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with 80.5-grain Berger Open Tip Match bullets optimized for precision shooting. This match-grade ammunition combines Federal's quality brass and primers with Berger's proven boat-tail design for consistent ballistic performance at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Federal's Gold Medal line represents their premium match ammunition, engineered specifically for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts. The 80.5-grain Berger Open Tip Match projectile features a boat-tail design that reduces drag and maintains velocity better than standard bullets. Match-grade powder charges are weighed to precise tolerances, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency that standard hunting ammunition cannot achieve.

Key Features

• 80.5-grain Berger Open Tip Match bullets with boat-tail design for superior ballistic coefficient
• 224 Valkyrie chambering optimized for long-range performance in AR-15 platforms
• Federal Gold Medal brass cases with consistent wall thickness and primer pockets
• Match-grade powder charges weighed to exacting specifications
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Muzzle velocity approximately 2,675 fps from 24-inch barrel

This ammunition excels in precision rifle competitions where sub-MOA accuracy is essential. The 224 Valkyrie cartridge bridges the gap between 223 Remington and larger calibers, offering flatter trajectory and retained energy at distances exceeding 600 yards. The Berger OTM bullet design maintains stability through transonic transition, making it effective for both target shooting and long-range hunting applications.
