Reloading data for .223

[High Desert Pete]

Hi all, so I'm reloading for my .223 and I'm using a 55 grain FMJ BT and IMR 3031 for powder.
That said I cannot find data for a 55 grain bullet on the hodgdon site. It seems to stop at 50 grain bullets. Comments, Suggestions ? Thanks

I didn’t see any 55gn FMJ data but they do have data up to 80gn, including 55gn. Click the little arrow on the right of the box at step 2.

I got my best accuracy at 24.5 gr. IMR 3031, and 2.24" OAL, or to cannelure.
