6.5 Grendel vs 224 Valkyrie - sarky - 02-06-2019 We all have probably seen this and how writers are comparing the 2 cartridges. But has anyone seen a variation on the .224 Valkyrie, ie 6.5 Valkyrie? 6.5 Grendel vs 224 Valkyrie - grayfox - 02-06-2019 There is I believe a wildcat 6.8x6.5, which is essentially what you're proposing... the taller, narrower powder stack would seem to reduce the burn efficiency... 6.5 Grendel vs 224 Valkyrie - bj139 - 02-06-2019 Ar15performance used to sell this wildcat barrel with the name Six5. I bought one used. It is a simple neckdown of the 6.8 SPC where I think the Valkyrie is shortened also. I only shot 10 shots through it as shown below. I had to grind down the shellholder to make the cases with a 6.8SPC bushing die and used a .285 bushing. 6.5 Grendel vs 224 Valkyrie - sarky - 02-11-2019 True, but because the case he'd is smaller, you can raise the pressure with less fear of shearing bolt lugs.
