There are at least a dozen good bullets that will get the job done in an AR on deer and hogs. Several have been mentioned already. That 64 Winchester is a good one, as is the 62 Fusion. Barnes of course. I reload, and the one I shoot for everything from coyotes to pigs and deer is the 65 Sierra Game King. It is a good all around bullet. I have also used the 60 grain Partition, and killed half a dozen does on MLD permits one year with the Cutting Edge Bullets 40 grain ESP Raptor. Don't let the weight fool you, that is one bad to the bone little bullet.
Pick your shot and put it where it needs to go. About 150-170 yards is generally where I set my limit on bigger game with the 223/556 just because of retained energy. Doesn't mean it won't kill them further than that, because it will. Just the way I prefer to do it.
