For one thing, it wasn't designed around the .404 Jeffery case like all the others. However, my take on this (as one who has owned and shot a 22-250, and 22-250 AI), is skip the Creedmoor if you handload. but similar in length. The .22 Nosler is a proprietary, rebated-rim case with about 15 percent more case capacity and 400 fps velocity than a .223 Rem., but the Nosler retains the same .378-inch case head diameter as the .223 Rem. For example, the 85 gr RDF BTHP Match bullet fired by the 22 Nosler maintains approximately 50% more kinetic energy at 500 yards than the 50 and 55-grain bullets fired by the 22-250 (672 ft-lbs vs ~410 ft-lbs). The Valkyrie has an edge on price due to its American Eagles load, which is available as low as $12 a box or 55 cents a round. Everyone is in the .45 ACP vs the tiny 9mm for a couple of years..then they ALL switch to the side of the deeper hitting 9mm! The result is a .22-caliber cartridge that runs through an AR-15-sized receiver and delivers ballistics that leave the .223 in the dust. 
I guess theres no point in keeping these secret anymore. As both cartridges fire the same 22 caliber bullets, there is little to no difference in ballistic coefficient for bullets of similar weight and design. Your email address will not be published. You get 22-250 class velocities with a more modern cartridge design, and high-quality brass. Enter the 22 Nosler, a new cartridge with one goal in mind: the push the limits of the 22-caliber bullet in the AR-15 with minimal modifications to the rifle. 
This is definitely on the lighter end of the scale for AR rounds, though it is still 24% heavier than 5.56mm, thanks mostly to the heavier projectile. I'd say he's handloading already so all this factory ammo talk might not mean anything.
Barrel? More importantly, why all the fuss? With the right cartridge, you can take your shooting skills to the next level and enjoy the sport of shooting to its fullest. RifleShooter Magazine editor Scott Rupp breaks down all the features of the Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. Plus, the velocity of the Creedmoors are faster, which means they have a shorter barrel life than the 6mm ARC. Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet at 3,400 fps out of an AR-15 fitted with a 20 barrel. Recoil is an important consideration when purchasing a new rifle as a round with heavy recoil will be more difficult to control and will slow your rate of follow up shots. Id tell them that my Dad was a Senator on a military senate sub-committeetheyd believe me.
The .22 Nosler has a slight advantage in case capacity over the Valkyrie, about three grains.
