Could you esplain that Lucy honey?
With the limited, 18 pieces of brass, that Ritch had all he shot was CFE 223. He did not MAX it out according to what we would normally use as high pressure indicators, like primer flattening, we have seen none, and ejector/extractor swipes of which we have sen none.
Once it gets into my hands and with the weather cooperating with Ritch a bit more we will be shooting a bunch of stuff. He has some he has now shot 9 times with tight pockets and if things go along like that with other powders who knows what it will be.
I'll try at least four powders on the first go around and then move on to various bullet weights. The goal is to use this on varmints but I'll fire up some 80's just to see what we have. I'm not going out and order a 6 1/2 twist but I suspect this one will shoot heavier than we expect with a bit of nurturing. They claim 90's out of the Valkyrie and a 7 twist work that I find suspect but since we have more capacity we might pull it off. I have a box of the SMK's setting on my shelf. Ten shots will tell me where we stand.

PS: A 6 MM version of this WILL NOT be a 6 MM HAGAR. The use of the 22 Nosler dies changes the case shape but realistically the chronograph would never no the difference whether they are massaged or not. Also a 6 MM Nosler is a shorter case closer to the Valkyrie in proportion. Great way to rob yourself of capacity if that's your goal.
