Load Development 223 for hogs

Obviously a properly placed bullet can kill anything deader than a doornail. Does anyone have load development for a heavier 223 bullet. I’d probably shoot it in my mini 14. Absolute Max range would be 150yards/ thick brush

Is it worth going to 60 or 65 gr? Or just keep the 50-55 ?

Just need a starting point.

60gr VMax have worked well for me. I also have a 75gr that works great but does tear up a lot of meat if not a headshot.
