Browning Ammunition has announced its Long Range Pro ammunition is now available in 28 Nosler at a number of outdoor retailers. Soon, Browning will also be shipping its BXS Copper and BXC Controlled Expansion in 28 Nosler.

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.

For the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, SIG rolled out a new addition to its ammunition line, and one hunters might find handy: 300 Blackout Supersonic Elite Performance Ammunition Match Grade Centerfire Cartridges.

The newest high-speed cartridge developed for the AR-15 platform was just released by Federal Premium Ammunition in the form of the .224 Valkyrie, allowing supersonic velocity out to 1,300 yards.

For 2019, Federal has brought back the popular Barnes TSX, an all-copper hollow point that groups tightly at long range and delivers consistent, lethal expansion.

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.

Our resident ammo aficionado weighs in with his top ten.

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

Based on the 6.8 SPC cartridge, the .224 Valkyrie is designed to give excellent long-range ballistics from an AR platform with little recoil. Loaded with 60- to 90-grain bullets, the cartridge makes a sound choice for deer and varmints alike.
