Zach, it'll be hard indeed to get a better load than either of those you're using.
You can equal them - maybe - but either one is superb.
I prefer a 50-gr bullet in the 223, and I do not hunt for fur, so that colors my choices. My favorite is the 50 VMax, 50 Barnes Varminator, 50 Ballistic Tip or any other decent 50-gr softpoint. My current favorite load (I've had dozens of faves and probably will have others later on, too...) is 25.0 of Ramshot TAC in military brass and the WSR primer. It's below max and just shoots well for me.
