The Hornady V-Match .224 Valkyrie 62gr ELD-VT ammunition is purpose-built for shooters who demand match-grade precision in a modern, efficient cartridge. Whether you're dialing in at the range, competing in precision rifle events, or hunting varmints, this round delivers the consistency and ballistic performance that separate good shooting from great shooting. Each round is loaded to strict specifications using premium components and clean-burning propellants formulated for reliable velocity and minimal velocity spread across temperature swings—critical when you're trying to hold tight groups from load to load.
The 62-grain ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag – Varmint Target) bullet combines a polymer tip with Hornady's renowned design for a ballistic coefficient of .395 (G1), giving you a flatter trajectory and excellent wind-bucking capability out to extended range. The .224 Valkyrie itself has earned a dedicated following for its efficiency: it delivers varmint-class energy in a faster, flatter package than heavier .224 rounds, making it ideal for everything from prairie dog towns to precision target work. Muzzle velocity is rated at 3300 fps, translating to fast bullet travel with minimal drift—valuable when you're shooting at distance or when conditions are less than ideal.
Hornady's V-Match line prioritizes the repeatable, shot-to-shot uniformity that competitive shooters and demanding hunters need. This is match-grade ammunition in a practical, affordable format—no guesswork, no hand-loading variables, just reliable brass, consistent powder charges, and tested bullets ready to perform. The 20-round box format works for practice sessions, competition strings, or field days when you want ammunition you can trust.
| Cartridge | .224 Valkyrie |
| Bullet Weight | 62 grains |
| Bullet Type | ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag – Varmint Target) |
| Ballistic Coefficient (G1) | .395 |
| Sectional Density | .177 |
| Muzzle Velocity | 3300 fps |
| Application | Varmint (under 50 lbs), Target/Match |
| Box Count | 20 rounds |
| Product Line | Hornady V-Match |
Yes. The .224 Valkyrie is rated for varmint applications under 50 lbs and is equally at home on the precision rifle range. The 62-grain ELD-VT bullet and 3300 fps velocity give you the speed and ballistics to reach distance efficiently while maintaining the energy needed for clean varmint performance. It's become a popular choice among competitors and hunters who want a flat-shooting, low-recoil option that doesn't sacrifice downrange performance.
The ELD-VT has a ballistic coefficient of .395 (G1), which is solid for a 62-grain varmint bullet. That means good wind deflection resistance and a relatively flat trajectory—useful at distance whether you're on a competition line or evaluating wind conditions in the field.
Match-grade ammunition must deliver consistent velocity shot to shot, regardless of whether you're shooting in summer heat or winter cold. Hornady's clean-burning propellant formulation is engineered to minimize velocity variation across temperature extremes, so your point of aim and bullet drop calculations remain predictable whether you're at the range in July or varmint hunting in December.
The polymer tip improves the bullet's ballistic coefficient by streamlining the nose shape while protecting the bullet's integrity during handling and feeding. It also aids in expansion and performance on impact—a design choice that makes the ELD-VT suitable for both target work and varmint hunting.
