what kind of rifle are you going to be using in 5.56? More importantly what is going to be your twist rate in the barrel?
I take it you're asking about factory loaded ammunition as opposed to handloads?

Twist rate is 1:8 twenty inch barrel. Yes I prefer factory loaded.

Barnes VOR-TX with a 55gr TSX would be my first choice.

60 gr partition or 75 gr AMax out of the 8 twist. Also, the 62 Barnes seems like a good candidate.

Designation: 70 grain Barnes TSX-BT (Triple Shock)
recommended twist rate 1-8 or faster
Excellent barrier and hunting round

I took a decent size buck with a 63gr Sierra SP a few months back.
