Folks, I've watched Petey shoot, and he DOES whack groundhogs wwaaaaayyyy out there. My personal choice would be to put game animals and varmints in two, very separate categories as far as bullet choice is concerned, but every hunter is free to make his/her own choice.
Dead-on, what I just wrote also applies to military snipers. They are shooting varmints - or targets - not big game. It's not the same thing at all as hunting, and the bullet choice should reflect that. (Thay also are FORBIDDEN to use softpoints, by international law.) When I was flying combat missions, we used rockets to kill water buffalo and elephants in Cambodia (VC pack animals). That doesn't mean that I'd select a rocket for this year's deer hunt. Military gear choice has nothing whatever to do with hunting.
