If you have a 40 grain mold, I don't see any reason why not. Maybe even a 55 grain flat point would be small enough,(short enough) to be seated and not exceed OAL. No reason why you couldN'T push a hard enough boolit up to 1800-2000.

If anyone has some .224 55-or less grain bullets I would love to try them out and post the results. I would need them to be sized, lubed and gas checked as I dont have the equipment to do this for .224 bullets.
I could trade brass or bullets in various calibers.
Thanks,
Jason

Where did you get the 5.7X28 dies and load data?

Load data is sparse. Mostly from the fiveseven forum. Accurate and ramshot are the only factroies publishing data. Hornady, RCBS, Lee (not cataloged) and a few others are making dies.
