Yeah, I'd probably rethink the light "ballistic tip" loads for the reasons others have mentioned (violent fragment before reaching adequate penetration depth)
I have my current ready mags loaded with XM556FBIT3s (62gr TBBC). Prior to grabbing those, I used the 223 62gr Remington Core-Lokt Ultra Bonded. I also have a fair stash of 5.56 77gr IMI Razor Core OTMs that could be pressed into SD service if needed.
But it all depends upon your usage requirements modulo what's available to buy these days... (the list a couple posts up from this one looks like good recommendations)
Edited to add:
Looks like SGAmmo currently has stock of 223 55gr Gold Dots in box and case quantities:
