I just wanted to come back with a quick update.
I made some 75gr loads with CFE223 and worked my way up from 24.5 to 26.5. I got absolutely no pressure signs at 26.5, I was highly surprised actually. I think I saved a case if anyone is interested in seeing it. As far as chrono data, see below.
25.5gr CFE223
2.25OAL
75gr Hornady BTHP from a 16in AR15
Average Velocity - 2751 FPS
ES 52
SD 19
25.5gr CFE223
2.25OAL
75gr Hornady BTHP from a 10.5in AR15
Average Velocity - 2470 FPS
ES 103
SD 39
I was highly surprised to get nearly 2500 FPS avg from the 10.5 I have yet to chrono factory 55gr 5.56 from the 10.5 though. I can post each specific string of the loads if anyone is curious.
Edit, I pulled the cases out of the bag that I shot 26.5gr through and looked at 'em again and there's a slight bit of primer flattening but, there's still some primer radius. It's less flattening then any factory LC 5.56 and it was shot through a 10.5.
