224 Valkyrie – 75 Gr BTHP – Hornady Black (81532) – 200 Rounds

This 200 round case of Hornady BLACK 81532 loads the 224 Valkyrie with a 75 grain BTHP bullet. It is a versatile 224 Valkyrie ammo choice for AR owners who want accurate, consistent practice and training rounds at a lower cost per shot than premium match or hunting loads.

Hornady rates 81532 at 3,000 fps with 1,499 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 75 grain boat tail hollow point is a proven target bullet that holds its velocity well downrange. Hornady designed the BLACK line to perform across direct impingement, gas piston, suppressed and pistol style platforms, so it is a good fit for carbine courses, long range practice and suppressed range sessions. The BTHP is a target bullet, so choose a dedicated hunting load for game.

The 224 Valkyrie was introduced by Federal in 2017. It is based on the 6.8 SPC case necked down to .224, and it was built to let an AR-15 style rifle shoot long, heavy 22 caliber bullets that stay supersonic well past where a 223 Remington runs out of steam. It runs in AR-15 rifles fitted with a 224 Valkyrie barrel, a 6.8 SPC style bolt and 6.8 SPC magazines, and several bolt action rifles are chambered for it as well. It is not interchangeable with the 223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, so always confirm your rifle is marked and chambered for 224 Valkyrie before loading. Light recoil and the ability to reach well past 500 yards with the right bullet have made it a favorite for long range AR builds.

Hornady packs 81532 in boxes of 20 rounds, and this case holds 10 boxes for a total of 200 rounds. That is enough for several full training days with one consistent lot. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme heat and solvents, and keep the boxes sealed until use to protect the cartridges from moisture. Ammunition stored this way stays ready for years, so buying by the case is a practical way to keep a steady supply on hand.
