Hodgdon Lil' Gun is magnificent with reduced loads. I've had great success with it.
All that being said I think the 223 is a poor choice for a caliber for reduced loads for hunting medium game. I'd look at something like at LEAST 30 caliber and my favorite is a 21" 44mag Contender barrel poinking them out the muzzle at about 600-800fps with a sound signature like a hand operated staple gun.
If you're gonna go slow you need to carry some weight along with you for medium game, especially hogs.
Study 300 Whisper data... IMO it's the best of all worlds for medium game but I just got stuck on my 44mag because it's so dang easy to load for and you don't require anything at all special to buy or load for it.
Unique works too but Lil' Gun is the BOMB...
