[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1144797, member: 91090"] I shoot a lot of .223 in ar's. Reload for my precision guns. Most of the reloading manuals only have the .223 loads. I believe my hornady manual is the only one I have that has 5.56 loading. If you want your brass to last then use the .223 data. I do. With a 5.56 or wilde chamber there is lots of room to go up. You just have to find what your rifle likes and what your uses are. What is your twist. for coyotes out to 300 I would work on loads with the 69 or 77 gr. match king if you have a 1:8 twist. If a 1:12 I would look in the 52 to 55 grain sierra's. The hornady Amax is a good choice too but it might mess up the pelt. [/QUOTE]
