Have you seen any posts of people putting 5.56 in a valkyrie?

I am guessing the round wouldn't fit in, in a way which would shoot, but....?
Curiosity.

Doesn't look like it would chamber at all, as the shoulder on the .223/5.56mm is MUCH farther forward than the Valkyrie. Not to say a person couldn't slam the bolt over and over until it deformed the round and locked, but obviously that's not a reasonable/safe option, nor do I recommend it...

The shoulder of the .223/5.56 is almost .300" longer (forward) than the .224. Diameter at the base of the case is approx .050" larger in diameter on the .224 vs the .223/5.56. You'll know if you load a .223/5.56 in a .224valk and vice versa.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking.
