   For varmint I use .223 50gr hollow points to reach out there or .22WMR   
   out to about 125.  All factory loads.  I really like the 50gr American   
   Eagle HP.  My target/varmint 223 barrel drops them so close together if   
   I told you you'd think I was exaggerating.  Not sure you can still get   
   those American Eagle's, but I have a couple left.   
      
   I get a little frustrated with all the different rounds/calibers/loads   
   out there these days.  There isn't anything in North America you can't   
   drop with the 119 year old 30-06 (even older if you remember its derived   
   from 30-03).  Light bullet for deer or antelope way out there, or   
   heavier bullet for elk or brown bear.  Maybe a bit much for varmint, but   
   Remington did load a .22 sabot round for it some decades back.  I think   
   it was called the accelerator.   
      
   Mostly I just hunt birds.  Shotgun or pellet gun depending on the species.
