Product Overview
Hornady BLACK .224 Valkyrie 75gr BTHP ammunition is engineered for AR-15 shooters who demand reliable performance for both target shooting and tactical applications. The boat-tail hollow point design delivers excellent accuracy with a 0.395 G1 ballistic coefficient, while 3,000 fps muzzle velocity and 1,499 ft-lbs of energy provide the flat trajectory that makes .224 Valkyrie effective at extended ranges.
This ammunition is optimized specifically for modern sporting rifles, featuring clean-burning propellants and reliable primers that ensure consistent cycling in semi-automatic platforms. The 75-grain bullet weight offers an excellent balance between velocity and BC, providing enough speed for responsive target engagement while maintaining supersonic velocities at distances where lighter bullets fall subsonic.
For shooters who want a versatile load suitable for recreational shooting, home defense preparation, or competition practice, Hornady BLACK delivers consistent accuracy without the premium price of match-grade ammunition. The brass cases are reloadable, allowing shooters to develop custom loads while using proven Hornady components as a baseline.
