Small game 223 load

[Yooper25]

Anybody load slow, maybe even subsonic 223 specifically for small game? My thought is it would be sweet to be able to shoot a grouse or ptarmigan while bear hunting without blowing it up too bad.

Have you tried an fmj?

Edit* you said while bear hunting. Better off
A.) Not hunting bear with 223.
B.) Not carrying a non killing bear load while looking for said bear
