I'd class those(light for calibre) as bad bullets and therefore outside the scope of what I recommend

To be clear I wouldn't recommend that this bloke get a .223 because it is difficult to get good factory ammunition for it that uses decent bullets. I would strongly recommend a .243, 6mm or 6.5...
