What Makes Federal Fusion MSR 224 Valkyrie 90gr Special
-
90-Grain Bonded Core Soft Point: Fusion MSR bullet features bonded core construction for superior weight retention and controlled expansion. Soft point design offers reliable terminal performance on medium game.
-
224 Valkyrie Cartridge: Designed specifically for the AR-15 platform. 224 Valkyrie offers flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and longer effective range than traditional AR-15 cartridges (5.56 NATO, .300 Blackout, 6.8 SPC). Stays supersonic past 1,300 yards.
-
2,700 fps Muzzle Velocity: High-velocity load optimized for 224 Valkyrie rifles. Flat trajectory and minimal drop make this ideal for long-range target shooting and hunting.
-
1,457 ft-lbs Muzzle Energy: Substantial energy for medium game hunting. Enough power for coyote, prairie dog, varmint, and medium game at extended ranges.
-
Bonded Core Construction: Fusion MSR bullet features bonded core (core and jacket molecularly bonded) for exceptional weight retention and controlled expansion. Superior to traditional cup-and-core bullets for hunting applications.
-
Brass Cases: Quality brass cases reloadable multiple times. Adds value for handloaders and reduces long-term ammo costs. Non-corrosive, durable, and consistent.
-
Boxer Primers: Reliable, consistent ignition. Boxer-primed cases are also reloadable for handloaders. No misfires, no hangfires, no duds.
-
Non-Corrosive: Modern primer and powder formulation. No corrosive salts that damage barrels. Easy cleanup after shooting.
-
AR-15 Platform Optimized: 224 Valkyrie is designed for the AR-15 platform (MSR15). Requires 224 Valkyrie upper receiver, barrel, and magazines. Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers.
-
Mid-Range Hunting: 90-grain soft point is ideal for coyote, prairie dog, groundhog, varmint, and medium game. Flat trajectory and long effective range make this excellent for open-country hunting.
-
Long-Range Target Shooting: 224 Valkyrie stays supersonic past 1,300 yards. Excellent for long-range target shooting, precision rifle competitions, and skill-building.
-
Half the Recoil: 224 Valkyrie produces approximately half the recoil of cartridges with similar ballistics (6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester). Reduced recoil improves shooter comfort and follow-up shot speed.
-
Made in USA: Federal manufactures ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota. Trusted by shooters, hunters, and competitive shooters worldwide.
-
20-Round Box: Standard box size for 224 Valkyrie ammunition. Ideal for range sessions, hunting trips, or testing new loads.
