Can the 5.56 NATO be loaded to match the Valkyrie with longer bullets (90g), or will that be over the AR COL limit?
Could it be done in any factory bolt actions, or would it be a complete custom job?
EDIT: Wasn't the whole point of the NATO change to fast twist barrels to shoot heavier bullets? Isn't the long leade/throat why you shouldn't use 5.56 in .223?
All the ballistics comparisons I have seen have been with a .223
My thought here was have an AR for 3-Gun, then a bolt action for long range target and varmint.
NOTE: if el cheapo 5.56 can be had for less than what quality reloads would cost then it lessens the impact.
