It's just more reach and higher BC flight for the AR guys.
Nothing more than that.

At that it's cool for them, as long as the retailers are setting up with appropriate twist rates and the throat works with whatever bullets they're using.

Agreed--which I am certain they will... they want/need to make sales..

I am taking the "Wait and see" attitude with this one.

So far I have not seen anything that would cause me to want one yet. Yes it's faster then the 5.56 NATO, but so is the 22-250 (by quite a lot) so the fact that the "Valk" fits into an AR is the one thing that may make it grow in popularity. I do not know what the downrange addition of velocity it gives (not all that much as compared to a 22-250) is really going to gain over the NATO cartridge loaded with bullet up to 77 grains.
I do not argue that the heavier bullet at high velocity is going to beat the 556 at ALL ranges in a test of speed.

Agree with Tinker on this one.. made for the competition fields more than varmints, etc.. correct, its chambered in AR's now by several manufacturers, not aware of any in the 22.250??..

Can see your hits and fast follow up..able to use heavy for caliber bullets so higher bc for the longer ranges 800+ yds.. all in an AR platform..

Long term who knows, but in the short time its been around, seems to be picking up a little steam.. Personally I like the 6mm Creedmoor..
