  1. Optics: Long-range shooters typically use high-quality scopes with variable magnification to spot and engage distant targets accurately. The scope's reticle should be designed for long-range shooting, and features such as parallax adjustment and elevation/windage turrets are crucial.

  2. Ballistics Knowledge: Understanding ballistics is essential for hitting targets at extended ranges. This includes knowing the trajectory, wind drift, and other environmental factors that affect the bullet's path.

  3. Range Estimation: Accurate estimation of the target's distance is crucial. Rangefinders are commonly used to measure distances to the target, and a good knowledge of the terrain can help with range estimation.

  4. Environmental Factors: Wind speed and direction, temperature, altitude, and humidity all influence the bullet's trajectory. Skilled long-range shooters learn to account for these factors to make accurate shots.

Long range shooting is one of those intersections of science, skill, and art.  It’s hard enough on a flat range, but when done in high winds and from different positions, the difficulty level ramps up.  A lot of the skills used in long range shooting can be honed with decent gear and enough practice, but there is nothing like a solid foundation to build upon.  That is where training like that offered by RangeTech comes in.  Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a one on one long range training course with Mike from RangeTech.  I picked up some great...

So, is the .224 Valkyrie worth the time and effort? In short yes, and maybe no. Yes, if you're willing to invest in Redding Type S Full dies and a Forster Co-Ax press, learn some stuff about precision reloading; and no, if you're not. The simple fact of the matter is that the factory 88 and 90 grain loads have a poor form factor and poor miller stability. Guys have tried to band aid this by going to a tighter twist rate but it still doesn't solve your velocity issues.
