Definition ... Google it and get back with me LOLWhat puts the .223/5.56 round into the varmint class?
Don't get me wrong, you can kill deer (very efficiently) with 223 with proper placement, but it doesn't put it in 308 class, not even close.

30-30 win has best all around killing power

So, I can't classify my .06, .308, .338 Lapua as a varmint round because they have killed many varmints?
"Big game" rounds relegated to 7mm and above? I LAWL !
FYI, a varmint round no matter what caliber, refers to the bullet construction in relationship to game its designed to kill.
One can buy varmint rounds for light skinned animals, as well as rounds for tougher skinned animals.
Sierra for example sells a 90 grain HP flatbase bullet in .308 bullet diameter that is billed as a varmint round, the 165, for deer, and the 200 grain solids for African game.
Barnes makes Varmint Grenades for the .223 round, as well as the TTSX rounds for deer.
Its all about the bullet and its placement, and using the proper bullet for the game at hand.
To answer another question, Anybody seen the innards of a deer hit with a .22-250 hit with a .55 grain HP at 4050FPS? I've taken several with my handloads, and I can assure you, its almost as devestating as the Sierra 165 Grain HP from my .06. Not quite, but close. Just jelly left inside.
Bullet construction indeed determines its intended use.FYI, a varmint round no matter what caliber, refers to the bullet construction in relationship to game its designed to kill.
So, if I can sling-shot a TSX of any caliber at deer's shoulder - I should expect a dead deer, right?Its all about the bullet and its placement, and using the proper bullet for the game at hand.
