[QUOTE="B23, post: 1542222, member: 13222"] The 22 Nosler and 224 Valk, IMO, aren't even in the same category and like someone already mentioned, unless this is going to be an AR build, they really aren't comparable. If you're wanting to shoot out to 1000 yards then you're going to want something with at least an 8 twist barrel to shoot the 75+ gr bullets and for me, if I'm shooting bullets that heavy from a .22 cal I want some horsepower behind it so I'd go with something like a 22-243 or do like I'm doing and have Defensive Edge build you a 224 Terminator and you can buy formed brass from them which will save you time and barrel life. Otherwise, I'd build a 22 Creed which is pretty much a twin to the 22-250AI but without the extra cost, work, and barrel life of forming brass. That's not to say forming brass is any big deal, but there is no denying, at the least, there is extra time and money involved to form brass and depending on your method of forming, you're running more bullets down the barrel of an already somewhat short-ish barrel life cartridge. My third choice, and it certainly wouldn't be a distant third choice, would be to build a straight 22-250. The 22-250 is an excellent varmint cartridge and with Lapua brass there isn't much to not like about it. [/QUOTE]
