I had a 100 rounds of American Eagle on hand cuz it was so cheap...but not accurate...after pulling bullets I can see why...I have struggled a lot with finding a good recipe for my upper...this is the best and so easy with Progressive Press...can pull 3 and then load 3 no spilled powder... thank so much for sharing this John Paul...hope to meet you someday and shake your hand
Great video-thank you! As it happens, my Valk, a bolt action Mossberg MVP Predator loves the 77gr Sierra TMK with about 28 gr of Varget. I might just have to try this-thanks again!!
shortening a neck sizing stem so it does not touch the powder is a good modification. I Mexican match 7.62x39 subsonics and there is almost no neck tension without neck sizing. Mexican match on these loads is great since 7.62x39 brass is like 20 CPR once fired. Plus, I can sell the pulled bullets to 300 blackout reloaders :p
I'm going to try this with some 80 grain elds, thanks for the video. I just got into the 224 this month in the cheap but I think I'll order a jo barrel to try out
Now that there is more data available. Would you recommend a 1/7 or 1/6.5 barrel to shoot the heavier match grade stuff? Thanks for all the info great video
The term came from the Pan-American shooting matches.The competition was held in Mexico that year. they substituted match bullets for standard ball that they had available.
I'm sorry, I can't sit through all twenty minutes. I made it through eleven. I only tried watching because your thumbnail looked like cast rounds. What's with the fake out?
Thank you for the load information. Now I need the barrel information . Dramworx can help you fix the powder measures on your bench.
Coronas/Tecate guns and animals at distance. Yep it's on, Mexican match

Thank you nice video. I’m building my 224 currently in a AR platform

Will the 2.250 seat depth work as well did the sierra 77 hpbt as well?
Thank you
That is incredible John!!!
What bullet did you use?
GREAT video JP.

Did you ever try this with the 80gr ELDs? My handload go-to is with the same bullet so I’d be curious to find out. Thanks!
“I’m cheap,just like you”
😂😂😂😂 my dad was huge into silhouette growing up and I’ve never heard of this. Loved this video

What seating die is John Paul using?
Chasing velocity over higher BCs is a fool's errand
Confucius says, so is talking out of your ass. You do know who he is right...? Listen Carefully to what he says and why he went this route.
Can you share the pill recipe in this video? Bullet, Brass, Primer, Powder
I've already bought a case the 75 grain target rounds all I need to know is what bullet your actually using? Thanks for your help!
He literally says it in the video and shows them. 77gr Tipped Match Kings
.224 diameter 77gr tmk #7177 Sierra. He molybdenum coated them, but you may want to research more before you do that.
Hornaday
I have some never fired TC30 rounds i what to neck down to 6.5 how would suggest doing that?
I am a new reloader. That said. I’m assuming the factory ammo you start out with should shoot decent to begin with?
Warthog 71 - yes, 28gr to 28.1gr consistently for the Federal 75gr TMJ. I tried this and it’s excellent. I load 77gr RDF’s.
@@DMHal01 I know it’s been a while, never saw this reply. Thank you DH! Hope all is well!
@@Warthog71 yes alls well thanks! Still shooting the 224V!
What brand of press is being used on the bullet seating?
He is using a C-H 444 "H" Press. The company is now CH4D and the press is the No. 444 H Press, Item #:044000.
what twist are you shooting?
JP .224 Valkyrie barrels are a 1:7 twist.
What powder do you think they use? What length and profile barrel?
Pretty cool.
However you can buy hornady for .90 per, so if your time is worth anything it wouldn't pay...
You won’t get the velocity or accuracy from those factory Hornady 88s that he’s getting from this method/combo I can promise you
