I would try the new Frontier 55 grain hp. I am assuming your AR is a 1-7 or 1-8 twist barrel. These are fairly accurate in my AR's and I have seen them for less than $7 a box of 20. The 55hp is not as violent as a Vmax, but still expands well.

Jon,
If you are not trying to save hides, I would look at it from an accuracy and reliability stand point. Almost anything you launch out of a 223 will knock a dog over, possibly with the exception of some highly frangible bullets connecting on bone upon entry. That being said, spitzers and hollow points would be the direction I would lean, looking at what bullet the rifle likes. If I were trying to save hides I would try bullets designed for the 22 Hornet.

My answer was based on terminal bullet performance, and bit about loading for accuracy not functionality. I have loaded a lot of tipped and traditional style bullets for my ar, never had a function issue with any. Function issues in ar is more often brass prep related or magazine problems.

Question on the Speers: Are these the 52gr HP with the large HP opening? My 22-250 seems to leave lead spray marks on the target as if they are vaporizing. The 223 shoots them well but they do hang on feeding if the bolt is worked sissy like.

Yes the Speer 52 with the large hp.

Maybe I should throttle back a bit.

Have used a number of bullets out of my 9T AR over the years for coyotes. My setup though is a bit different in that I have a couple of the old DPMS VLD magazines. Best bullet I ever shot out of it for accuracy was the 65 JLK Low Drag. Unfortunately wasn't good terminally. My favorites are the 65 SGK, and the 69 TMK. Have some new 60 TMK's now and intend to give them a try this fur season coming. Betting they'll be fantastic for that application.
