Deep Dive
Overview
The Hornady V-Match 224 Valkyrie 62-grain ELD-VT is a versatile load built for both precision target/match work and effective varmint hunting. Its aerodynamic ELD-VT design and .395 BC deliver tight groups and reduced wind drift for target shooters, while the lightweight, high-velocity construction produces rapid, humane fragmentation on varmints like coyotes and prairie dogs. Temperature-stable powders and match-grade components ensure consistent performance in the field or on the range, making this 224 Valkyrie ammo a one-load solution for shooters who demand both accuracy and terminal effectiveness.
History and Development
The Hornady V-Match was created to redefine the limits of varmint and target ammunition. Drawing from decades of innovation behind Hornady’s ELD and Match lines, engineers developed the ELD-VT bullet to combine the extreme accuracy of match bullets with the rapid expansion and energy release of varmint projectiles. Each round is built with premium brass, clean-burning propellants, and the same exacting standards that define all Hornady precision ammunition, giving shooters unmatched confidence in performance and consistency.
