I was on the Hodgdon web site, getting some 223 data to mess around with, and I came across this...
Cartridge: 223 Remington
Load Type: Rifle
Starting Loads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum Loads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bullet Weight (Gr.) Manufacturer Powder Bullet Diam. C.O.L. Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure Grs. Vel. (ft/s) Pressure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
55 GR. HDY FMJ Hodgdon Titegroup .224" 2.200" 3.1 1064 4,000 CUP
Why would someone want to load 223 with 3.1 grains of tite group and get a maximum velocity of only 1064
Seeing how I use titegroup for .40, I think I might make up a few to see if they actually cycle the action of my AR.
