“.22 nosler”

Nosler has been on a tear in recent years, releasing a new proprietary cartridge each year for the last four. This year there are two, the .33 Nosler and the .22 Nosler.

The 22 Nosler and .224 Valkyrie are both viable for long-range shooting and run at very similar velocities, so which gets the nod?

22 Nosler made its debut earlier this year at SHOT Show 2017, and rifle manufacturers haven't hesitated to embrace it—most recently CMMG, which has announced the arrival of a new line of rifles chambered in the cartridge.

Nosler has announced that it will release a small run of 25 Limited Edition Model 48 Independence Day Rifles that will feature distinct and patriotic features.

Federal announces two new flat-shooting premium .224 Valkyrie loads that are designed to deliver precision accuracy at long ranges.

The list of advantages held by the .224 Valkyrie starts with ballistic performance that’s more like the .22-250 Rem. than the .223 Rem. Loaded with 60- to 90-grain bullets, the .224 Valkyrie was developed by Federal Premium to bring more power to the AR-15 platform.

Based on the 6.8 SPC cartridge, the new .224 Valkyrie is designed to give excellent long-range ballistics from an AR platform, with little recoil.

The new M48 NCH is Nosler’s fresh take on a hunting handgun. With a solid-bottom receiver, the NCH is a single-shot pistol based on company’s M48 rifle.

Featuring a 15-inch stainless steel barrel that’s threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor and chambered in six popular calibers, the single-shot M48 Independence balances well and feels surprisingly good in the hand.
