How much do you use behind a 55gr bullet? I've been using 27gr's for years, but now everyone shows that is too hot. Hornady list's 23.2grs as max!

Sierra fifth edition shows 23.0 grains to 27.5 for bolt actions. For the AR-15 they show 23.6 to 25.7.

Hodgdon website: 223 Rem, H335, 25.3 GR. 55 GR. SPR SP, 2.200", 24" barrel, 3203 fps, 49,300 CUP

Test: Ruger #1, CCI 400 small rifle primers, LC brass once fired processed from Scharch and prepped by me, 55 gr Vmax moly, H335

pic left to right: unfired, 28, 29, 30, and 31 gr.





unfired, extractor groove .329"
28 gr, extractor groove .329", 11% overload
29 gr, extractor groove .329", 15% overload
30 gr, extractor groove .3295", 19% overload
31 gr, extractor groove .3320", 23% overload

I like to run 6% below the slightest growth so that would make my personal max somewhere between 27.25 and 28.25 gr.
I would need to expeiment more to resolve that.
