I’ve been looking at my Hornady and Ramshot load data and see the 5.56 data is considerably higher for the bullet weights I shoot. Is anyone running full 5.56 loads? I generally just stick with 223 since I’m not using these rifles for hunting. Both my rifles are 5.56 compatible and I thought I’d maybe push on up a little. Hornady shows nearly a grain higher in 5.56 for their 75 grain bullet with an astonishing 2900 fps listed from a 20” barrel. I’m shootings a 20” and sorta want to try it as long as accuracy doesn’t fall apart.
