On a bolt gun, unless you want the small case capacity for some reason, a 6mm or a 6.5mm Creedmor or something like it makes more sense to me for 1K yard competition or fun shooting when you want low recoil and longer barrel life. The only reason I went with the Valkyrie was because it was too cheap to pass up for something that would give me decent performance out to 1K on an AR-15 platform for 75 to 88 grain Hornady bullets. The small amount of powder used is a bonus. After thinking about it some more, I probably would not build a Valkyrie in a bolt action rifle but you never know.
