224 valkyrie vs 204 ruger


And though the 1:12” twist rate prohibits bullets much heavier than 55 grains (some of the 60-grains will stabilize, depending on conformation), the .22-250 Remington will suffice for most predator hunting situations. • .404 Jeffery vs. .416 Rigby A 22-204 is just turning the 204 back into the 222 Rem Mag. Bullet choices run between 30 and 90 grains—if you were so inclined to install a barrel of proper twist rate—and the case offers more than enough capacity to deliver them at a suitable velocity. The Ruger is a much more known quantity. It is a wonderfully accurate cartridge, capable of hair-splitting accuracy. There was one minor kink though: Browning released a rifle chambered for the .22-250 in 1963, and the barrels were so marked, yet there was no commercial ammunition available. • .25-06 Remington vs. 6.5 Creedmoor Drop is 733 inches and windage is 173.47 inches. • .22 Nosler vs. .224 Valkyrie The .204 Ruger took off fast. Which makes the more sensible choice for the hunter? There is also the fact that the .22-250 has been used as a deer cartridge—though I will admit the performance is marginable at best. It was immediately compared to the larger-cased .220 Swift, which will produce higher velocities, but the smaller .22-250 Remington is certainly in the race among the .22-caliber centerfire speed demons. There were many early versions, dating back to the 1930s, but it wouldn’t be until the 1960s when a commercial rifle would be available. WV: GOVERNOR SIGNS GOA-BACKED 2A SANCTUARY BILL INTO LAW! The 224 Valkyrie is based on a 6.8 SPC case (necked down to .22 caliber), but comparing the two cartridges is an apples-to-oranges proposition. • .303 British vs. 8×57 Mauser Another rimless cartridge, the .204 Ruger uses the same .378-inch diameter case head as the .222/.223 Remington family of cartridges. Taking advantage of better ballistics with a … vs. .458 Lott• 7mm Rem. vs. .300 Wby. The extractor is my question. • .450 Nitro Express vs. .470 Nitro Express This is the question only you can answer. In fact, the Valkyrie is about 25 percent more accurate than the 6.5 Grendel when both rounds were tested to hit targets at about 1000 yards out. • .300 Win. You’ll need a good cartridge, capable of handling shots varying from bobcats in the thick timber to coyotes across the windy, open fields. I really think it will boil down to the bullet weight issue. I’m not usually quick to pick up on a new cartridge—especially in an unfamiliar bullet diameter! It is a rimless design, with a case head of 0.473 inches—the same as the 7x57mm Mauser, .30-06 Springfield and their families—so no bolt face modification was necessary. And though the 1:12” twist rate prohibits bullets much heavier than 55 grains (some of the 60-grains will stabilize, depending on conformation), the .22-250 Remington will suffice for most predator hunting situations. • .280 Remington vs. .280 Ackley Improved Frankly, this is where I get nervous and why I have yet to build 6.8 SPC. • .416 Rigby vs. .416 Remington Magnum If you like extreme range shooting, AR rifles, minimum recoil, and possibly saving money on ammo (vs. 6.5 Creedmoor), the Valkyrie might be your baby. • 8×57 Mauser vs. .318 Westley Richards Mag. That’s very true, but the 22 Nosler is a generalized cartridge. Between the .22-250 Remington and the .204 Ruger, which is the better choice for the hunter in the market for a cartridge capable of handling shots varying from bobcats in thick timber to coyotes across windy, open fields? • .500 Jeffrey vs. .505 Gibbs • .30-06 Springfield vs. .270 Winchester • 7mm RUM vs. .300 RUM and.22-250 show the differences favoring the latter cartridge. • .308 Winchester vs. .30-06 Springfield I currently use a 223 A.I. If we’re looking at a standard twist rate for each cartridge (1:12” or 1:14” for the .22-250 Remington and 1:12” for the .204 Ruger) the .22-250 tops out at 55-grains and the .204 Ruger at 40 grains. vs. .340 Wby. Mag. All major manufacturers load it, with bullet weights from 24 to 45 grains. It will drive the 55-grain bullets to a muzzle velocity of 3675 fps or so, depending on the manufacturer, giving more than enough power to handle any coyote on earth, as well as flatten woodchucks and prairie dogs. The differences between 22 Nosler and hot factory loads for 5.56 NATO or 223 Rem are not as big as some would have you believe. • .270 Winchester vs. .280 Remington I prefer the versatility of the .22-250 Remington; it has been a dear friend for over two decades, and will continue to accompany me on those winter jaunts in pursuit of furbearers, and my summer campaigns against woodchucks. • .257 Roberts vs. .250-3000 Savage Here is some more footage of the 22-250 and 204. Which makes the more sensible choice for the hunter?

Mag. It offers about 30 yards longer MPBR and 5 to 6 inches less wind drift at 500 yards. For the most versatility, I will give the .22-250 Remington the win in this comparison. Based on brass availability I would go Ruger. Kinetic Energy: .224 Valkyrie. At about 34 grains and lighter the .204 Ruger reaches or exceeds 4000 fps.
