24.5 behind a 55 gr Nosler BT. LC brass, Remington 7 1/2 primer.

23.5 behind a Nosler 69 gr CC. LC & Rem 7.5 as above. Nosler accuracy load with XT twin 2230.

Work up 69gr load is over max with some sources.

Speer 62 gr fmj 2 nodes... 23 gr and 24.8, Any brass and preferably a small rifle magnum primer. or any AR primer, 2.260" coal
The 24.8 gr load is rather HOT and right at MAX or Near MAX. If your AR cycles smoothly with 24.8 gr X-Terminator then your golden.

Hornady 55 gr fmj w/c.. 2 nodes.. 24.4 gr (very mild load) and 26.1 gr... 2.260" coal any brass (usually comercial which I found no difference than milspec brass) and any small rifle magnum primer, or AR primer.

I prefer the 26.1 gr load with the 55 gr Hornady FMJ because they shoot pretty good and cost very little (around $ 20 per box of 100 in the 2 gunshops in my city).

Accurate 2230 & 2460 are pretty much exactly the same as X-Terminator.

Similar to the loads I’ve ran

The 55BT load with xterminator seems to shoot excellent in everything.

The 69 gr load is a very respectable performer as well.
50 grain ballistic tip do real well with 25 gr. Pretty mild load.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

Just tested this load thru my AR 18" suppressed 1/8 223.
24.0 exterm, 55 gr Sierra BK coal 2.219, CCI 450
Shot very well, use prairie dog in Sept.

If you get into the light varmint bullets, the Exterminator does pretty good there too. I shoot 40 Grn. Ballistic Tip, using 26.5 grns. If your rifle doesn't cycle with this load (or other varmint-weight bullets, get a Wolff Reduced Power mainspring (around $15.00). My rifles didn't care much for this powder with heavier bullets for some reason.

A bit lighter than you asked for, but I have found the 50gr Barnes VG to work really well in my 1:9 twist with X-Terminator. So well that the 55gr V-Max have been collecting dust.
