Ramshot has a separate section for hotter 5.56 loads.
Ramshot is not bashful about their load data compared to most others; Hodgdon is generally conservative IME; Nosler data is generally close to reality for much of it & is very close to what I can get and am comfortable with for a goodly number of rounds, on a few I am over their numbers.
5.56 NATO data is a fair amount warmer than standard 223 data from any source.
Gen-u-ine 5.56 ammo is getting harder to find & some of it that calls itself 5.56 M193 is watered down, but when I shoot IMI M193, it's easy to tell the difference from weak 223 stuff.
IIRC, there is not a SAAMI pressure standard for 5.56, but CIP puts it at 62.2K vs SAAMI 55.1K for 223.
QL is just a data point; sometimes close with some rounds, sometimes way off............
I don't use TAC & cannot comment on it, ditto for Lever; AR-Comp, 8208, 4895, 2000-MR, V V-133 /135 all get use depending on what I have the most of on hand.
WC 844 is the powder generally used in M193 ammo & 8208 is a substitute with that 56 gr bullet.
Stick, what velocity & what kind of accuracy does Lever yield in your guns?
