This is what I found:

.223 Remington / 5.56 NATO rule of thumb.....

1:12 - 55 grain max, best with 50 grain or less

1:10 - 60 grain max, best with 55 grain or less

1:9 - 69/70 grain max, best with 65 grain or less

1:8 - 77 grain max, beat with 69/70 grain or less

1:7 - made pretty much for the 77 - 80 grain VLD bullets
