Best supersonic bullet?

Anyone figure out the best supersonic bullets for general use (deer-sized game hunting, self-defense) given these constraints:

1. Must expand, tumble, or fragment and have good terminal effects - including when shot at lower velocities from a 10 inch AR or Contender barrel.

2. Must be in the 110 to 155 grain weight range.

3. Must not be frangible (must be silencer compatible).

4. Must feed in an AR (nothing with a round nose or large ogive).

5. Must be accurate and reliable in 1:8 twist barrel.

I am thinking one of the following:

Varminter has too large a hole to feed well.

Got some tests done:

( for your list offered ) the 125 grn. PSP look good .

I dont see this one on the list .
( 135 grn. Pointed/soft points )
in a short barrel I have killed a few Coyotes but I am sure it will also translate well over to heavier weight game like Deer or hogs well also .
Good OAL in the Magazine also . & good Vel.
.

According to who and for what? "people or game" If its not over 140gr, then I would not shoot even a yearling deer with it.

"Best" might mean best profit for the seller. Why the black tips if they're not military surplus AP ?
Pictures without data can lead to wrong conclusions.
