So I have several hundred of these bullets, but not a lot of information to reload them.
Suggestions?
I have a lot of CFE223 and H335 powder.
Any suggestions?

Western Powders publishes 5.56-spec load recipes with M855 for a half-dozen or so powders. Doesn't help you with CFE223 and H335, but you could get a pound of Tac and have at it.

Their latest load data PDF is here (www.ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WesternLoadGuide1-2016_Web-1.pdf)

Thanks.
MidSouth has these on sale right now and I'm ready to buy a couple thousand.
I know I've seen the load data here before, the search function hasn't been much help though.

Have you considered the Hornady 62 gr BTHPs MidSouth has? They fly similar to the 855s but are very accurate.

Same place, same price. Obviously a better bullet,
Thanks
I'm looking at my 9th edition Hornaday manual and I'm either blind tonight or I'm not finding the load data.

It's not listed in the data that I'm aware of. It seems to be an exclusive for MidSouth, so I don't know if it will be in future manuals. I guess Hornady is releasing loaded ammo with the bullet in the future. I've been using the bullet for when I want a load that matches M855 but is more accurate and can be used on steel targets. I wish I could help with your powder selection, but I've been using XBR.
