.224 valkyrie velocity

Is there anyone out there that has chronoed the .224 Valk yet ? I am especially interested in the factory 60 grain balistic tip ammo.

My dad just got his together yesterday. The factory 60 gr load shot right at moa about 3100ps from a 18” ar barrel

75gr factory was a little over moa at around 2900fps

Thanks and would you know how this compares to a 55 grain vmax .223 out of an 18 barrel?

Not a 55 BUT I shot some 50's in my 18" tube. Velocity was 3431. Sierra shows 3350 MAX for their 52/55. I also shot 77's in the 18" tube and showed 2827 with Sierra showing 2900. Mine were straight from Western Powder data. As a comparison I shot the SAME LOADS in a 24" 223 and got 3641 for the 50's and 2991 for the 77's.

You know I'm just a beginner at this but what conclusions would you come to? I know what I did.
