Federal Premium American Eagle .224 Valkyrie 75-Grain TMJ Rifle Ammunition – 20 Rounds

Precision Engineered for Long-Range Dominance

The Federal Premium American Eagle .224 Valkyrie 75 Grain TMJ Rifle Ammunition – 20 Rounds represents the pinnacle of affordable long-range performance. Designed specifically for modern sporting rifles, this ammunition harnesses the revolutionary ballistics of the .224 Valkyrie cartridge to deliver flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift, and exceptional terminal performance beyond 600 yards. Each 20-round box contains match-grade quality ammunition at a price point that makes high-volume training practical.

Unmatched Ballistic Performance

The .224 Valkyrie cartridge was engineered to push the performance limits of the AR-15 platform, delivering flatter trajectories and superior wind resistance. Compared to standard .223 Remington loads, it offers approximately 30% less bullet drop and 25% less wind drift, making it ideal for long-range shooting. The 75-grain Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) bullet is designed with optimized aerodynamics and a high ballistic coefficient of 0.365 (G1), ensuring excellent energy retention at extended distances. Its full copper jacket helps prevent lead exposure and reduces barrel fouling, while the precision-formed base promotes uniform muzzle exit and enhanced accuracy shot after shot.

Engineered for Reliability

The .224 Valkyrie cartridge was engineered to enhance the AR-15 platform, delivering 30% less bullet drop and 25% less wind drift compared to .223 Remington loads, making it ideal for long-range shooting. The 75-grain Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) bullet features optimized aerodynamics with a high ballistic coefficient (0.365 G1) for superior energy retention, and a full copper jacket that minimizes barrel fouling and lead exposure. The precision-formed base ensures consistent muzzle exit for improved accuracy. Federal’s American Eagle ammunition is known for its dependable ignition and smooth cycling, with clean-burning propellants that reduce carbon buildup for extended range sessions. Boxer-primed brass cases ensure reliable extraction and are fully reloadable, while tight velocity tolerances (under 20 fps) guarantee predictable long-range performance, making this ammunition a reliable choice for both recreational shooters and handloaders.

Ideal Applications

This ammunition excels in a variety of shooting disciplines, offering consistent accuracy for PRS/NRL competition, making it ideal for positional shooting stages. It’s also perfect for extended-range training, providing an affordable option for practice at 600-1,000 yard engagements. With its flat trajectory, it’s highly effective for varmint hunting, allowing for precise shots on prairie dogs and coyotes. Additionally, its reliable cycling in gas-operated systems ensures smooth performance during tactical drills, including carbine courses, making it a versatile choice for a range of applications.

FAQs

How does this compare to 6.5 Grendel for long-range shooting?

The .224 Valkyrie offers flatter trajectories out to 800 yards, while 6.5 Grendel carries more energy at extreme distances. Choose based on your typical engagement distances.

Can I use this for deer hunting?

While capable, we recommend checking local regulations. The 75-grain TMJ is best suited for varmints and predators under 300 lbs.

What twist rate works best with this ammunition?

A 1:7 or 1:7.5 twist barrel stabilizes the 75-grain projectile optimally. Some 1:8 twist barrels may work depending on altitude.

Is this ammunition corrosive?

No. Federal uses non-corrosive primers and clean powders for easy maintenance.

Are there any known cycling issues in piston ARs?

This ammunition runs reliably in both DI and piston systems when using proper gas settings. Some adjustable blocks may require tuning.
