224 Valkyrie Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 224 Valkyrie with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

224 Valkyrie reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)55,000 psi
Nominal case capacity34.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.224 in (5.69 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.224 75 gr BTHP Match
Powder
Accurate A-2700
Charge
25.1 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,458 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

23,669 – 32,546 – 42,719 psi

nominal is 59% of the 55,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
