Thanks.

That first one would work, though I'm trying to find something with a boat tail for better accuracy over distance. I have found lots of reports of good success with deer using that bullet in both .223 and 22-250. I may end up making some batches using both this bullet and the Sierra 65grain SBT and see how they perform at 100+ yards.

The second is .227, which is only good for the .22 Savage High Power, not .223 Remington.

My mistake, I edited that post so nobody accidently orders it. I know I saw them somewhere though.

Here and xxxx are a couple that might be OK

I'm sure that's Accurate 2230. From what I have researched, Accurate 2230 is designed for the lighter bullets mostly - up to 60gr.
I don't have a favorite but I've had good results with BLC(2) and heard that it is closer to military powders. In my data books, it is recommended for bullets up to 80gr and down to 53gr. Sounds like what you need.
I have also heard that twist rate has a lot to do with accuracy. Lower ratios, like 1:7,1:8,1:9 do better with the heavier bullets where 1:12 is good for the lighter bullets.
I have a standard 1:9 RRA HBR and have yet to do any serious loading with the heavier bullets. The BLC(2) works well with 55gr.
