7mm Valkyrie first kill

​The 7mm Valkyrie AR is a wildcat developed to put big game killing power into a standard size AR 15 package. The Valkyrie reached an important milestone a couple days ago by recording its first large game kill, and proving the initial concept. This was a 400+ lb hog, taken with one shot, in the dark with NV, from on top of a ladder at 160 yards away. The load was a 140gr Berger VLD hunting bulle
t, over 35.3 grains of Benchmark, at 2740 fps, from a 21" SPR profile AR. This loads at mag length, 2.295", and fits in multiple different AR mags. Mr. pig took zero steps after receiving his prize, and there is no question in my mind that this cartridge has the stones to take anything in North America. Mission accomplished. 7mm Valkyrie has been tested and developed by a group of great folks who put in a lot of hours at the range and the loading bench, and now it's ready for prime time. It has a very comprehensive set of load data available already. I hope this post is of interest to the group. Please feel free to ask me anything.
