Got this data from Sierra book edition V. They lump .223 & the AR-15 all into 1. This book shows a max load of AA-2230 of 25.1 grains with the Sierra 60 grain HP @ 2950 fps out of a 20” barrel. Federal case, Remington 7 1/2 primer.

So, it looks like it should shine with bullets toward the lighter end then? Any favorite loads with 40, 50, or 55 grainers? Some of my better loads with A2230/X-Terminator in those bullet weights have been: Nosler 50 gr. BT, Rem brass, CCI 450 primer, 26.2 gr. A2230, 3,175 fps. Hornady 55 gr. FMJ, Rem brass, CCI 450 primer, 24.6 gr. A2230, 3,000 fps Sierra 55 gr. HPBT, Rem Brass, CCI 450 primer, 25.0 gr. A2230, 2,970 fps These were from an AR with a 16", 1:9 twist barrel.

I’ve probably burned upwards of 30+ lbs of it in various.223’s. It’s great.
