correct wire for a 14-50 receptacle

[ritelec]

Hi,
I'm planing on installing a nema 14-50 receptacle for a ev charger.
Just researching and I see this Bryant receptacle which has a max wire size rating of #8 cu and rated at 60 degree C

I'm looking at #6 AL 75 degree @ 50 amps but that is not right with 60c, copper and size
# 8 CU 75 degree is 50 amp but it's not 60 degree
#6 CU is size too large

What wire size and insulation can feed this receptacle? Or should I search for and will be able to find a different receptacle?

Thank you

Ok, I think I answered my question. I see this Leviton but I see people suggesting a Industrial grade. So I'll look around, thank you.

Are you trying to use aluminum or copper?

Code will limit you to 60C ampacity anyhow if using SE or NM cable. Use one of your later shown receps and size the wire for 60C.
