Setting up some dies ect. for a 'Production' run using 55 & 60 Grain bullets (FMJ & V-Max),

Any of you guys have a favorite load for these using Benchmark & CFE?

I know ARs can be twitchy about what they cycle, so if anyone has a favorite reliable load, please let me know what your AR likes best.

Thanks.
 
My favorite and most accurate load for my AR is 27.3 of cfe223 with a 55 grain Hornady soft point with oal of 2.230. This is a max load and I only shoot it in my AR, I do not shoot it in any 223 rifles, only 5.56 rifles with 5.56 brass.
Again this is a max load and needs to be worked up to in your own AR watching for any pressure signs.
 
These were all fired at a 5-inch paper plate at 50 yards with a red dot non-magnified sight, 5 shots each using 55gr FMJ Armscor bullets, CCI small rifle primers, the OAL measured from the base to the ogive was 1.868":
