Sure, 5.56 works fine. However, the projectiles typically loaded for Deer hunting will leave you scratching your head.
Thin skinned animals like a Deer need a round suited for the same. Hogs need a round suited more for penetration.
You can shoot a Hog with a 300wm, but if you Dick up the shot, it is going to run off just the same.
