That’s the max load for 223 Remington chamber. I’m running a Wylde chamber and can run to 5.56 pressures. the hornady manual they have 5.56 data for AR comp, that’s where i got my start point. the Sierra has a lot less bearing surface than the 75gr eld-m as well so using hornady data shouldn’t be an issue.. For those that are using 223 remimgtons I would definitely back off my load or get your chamber cut to a 223 Wylde chamber.
I'm running compass lake chambers and they are even tighter than the wyldes. They way they shoot I'll never have mine cut to the wylde.. I don't need to run it smoking hot to still be effective.. I should check that manual and see if maybe it has 556 loads in it as well...
It does, I have the manual, I used the load data for the 80gr eld-m for my 75 and 77 loads. Hornady max load for the 80gr eld-m is 23.2.. I’m pushing them, but not like majority of high power shooters are pushing.
Im sorry j, i was talking about the sierra manual. I checked, it only has ar15 data and bolt gun data.
