I'm new to ballistics. I've been reading and re- reading Doc's 5.56 mm Duty Loads post over the past week. I've also been reading past pertinent posts on different commercially available loads (I'm not LE).
Basically I am looking for the EXACT, best non barrier load that is available as researched by Doc.
And I am also looking for the best intermediate barrier penetration.
The thing that gets me is that the manufacturers confuse me. For example, Hornaday, where in this thread

Molon explains it all.
With all the different color boxes, model numbers and differences in bullets, I can't figure it all out.
I thought I would be getting the best non barrier load in the Hornady 80268 but after reading Molon's post, am not sure. Which one has the t2 bullet?
I went through the same mental masturbation with trying to find a intermediate barrier penetration. I can't seem to decipher or find a commercial FBI load.
I checked Grant's store for some leads, but he does not seem to have any in stock. Is it available anywhere?
PSA has a bunch of different stuff.

Should I just settle with .223 loads, like Federal Premium Gold Medal Ammunition 223 Remington 77 Grain (GM223M3)?
I do like the extra reach of the 5.56, but I'm an urban dweller so I don't think its necessary.
