Some shooters call Federal Premium’s new .224 Valkyrie, a “.223 on steroids.” While that may sound cliché, the point is this new cartridge is the world’s first supersonic, 1,300-yard cartridge designed for AR-15s. It’s loaded in the American Eagle line with 75-grain TMJs; the Federal Premium Gold Medal line with Sierra 90-grain MatchKings; the Federal Premium line with Nosler’s 60-grain Ballistic Tip; and the Fusion MSR line with 90-grain Fusion bullets. Learn more about it in the video embedded above.

But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
