Like someone mentioned, one bullet that is sure to work (and stabilize) is that Sierra 63 gr SMP. It's shorter than the 65 gr Sierra GK, the 60 gr Partition, and the 64 gr Nosler Bonded Solid Base. I'm not a big fan of using the 223 for deer, but it most certainly will do the job, if you place the bullet properly. Years ago I was invited on a hog hunt in South Texas. A buddy also was invited, but had no rifle. I loaned him the only other rifle I had, which was a short barreled 220 Swift. I loaded up some rounds with the 63 gr Sierra. I was standing next to him when he shot a decent sized hog that was running full tilt. That hog tumbled and flopped for 15 yards, and was as dead as a hog can get. And he shot a couple more later that weekend. The bullet performed well.
