like i said i don't hunt with a .223 but if i were to hunt with that bullet i would want at least something in the 60-75 grain weight. and would retain its weight while penetrating deeply. soo, nosler partions and nosler accubonds come to mind. if your looking at hornady i would think the gmx bullets would do good!

as a side note: i would stay away from varmint bullets such has hornadys v-max, that are designed to rapidly expand and fragment as you will not get good penetration on big hogs.

other then those i would think a heavy remington corelokt or other factory soft point would work
