The Hornady Black 224 Valkyrie 75gr Boat Tail Hollow Point delivers exceptional long-range performance with match-grade accuracy for precision shooters. This premium ammunition combines Hornady's proven ELD Match projectile technology with optimized powder charges for consistent velocities and tight groupings. The 224 Valkyrie cartridge extends effective range beyond traditional AR-15 calibers while maintaining manageable recoil.
What Makes This Different
The Hornady Black series bridges the gap between match ammunition and hunting loads through carefully selected components and rigorous quality control. Each 75-grain boat tail hollow point bullet features a heat shield tip that resists deformation during flight, maintaining ballistic coefficient consistency at extended ranges. The advanced polymer tip initiates controlled expansion while the boat tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectories compared to conventional hollow points.
Key Features
- 75-grain ELD Match boat tail hollow point bullets for superior ballistic coefficient
- 224 Valkyrie cartridge optimized for long-range AR-15 platform performance
- Match-grade powder charges deliver consistent muzzle velocities
- Heat shield polymer tip maintains accuracy at extended distances
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for reliable feeding
