They have a really nice PDF you can download on their website with all the loading data.

It also contains loads for 5.56 pressures.

A lot of people swear by 24.5 - 25.0 gr. of TAC behind a 55gr. FMJ.

It's accurate, decent velocity and doesn't beat up your brass.  I use 25 gr and have been very happy with it.
