It shoots great with 27.2 grains of H335 but it shows some pressure signs, flat primers but functions fine. It does have a 5.56 chamber. It shoots the best at all of the top loads but as stated it shows some pressure signs.
If it is showing pressure signs then you should back off the load a bit. No sense in punishing a rifle when the load is showing signs of pressure.
