.224 Valkyrie? Future competitor to the 6.5 Grendel?

[LRRPF52]

Now that we know the 90 gr SMK with a G7 of .256 will be the factory offering why do they keep flogging the "supersonic to 1300" meme? I come up with the 90 gr launched at 2700 going subsonic at around 1150 at sea level at 59 degrees F.

Sure, it will stay supersonic to around 1350 in my parts, but a 22lr will stay supersonic to 1300 yards if you go high enough.

When I ran the numbers with G7 drag model, it never made it to 1300yds either.

Not sure what ballistic modeling they're using, but a tight twist will help keep it stabilized better through the transition.
