Side Issue: Shouldn't we have some intermediate cartridge category between rimfire and "High-Powered Rifle" It is ludicrous to talk of the .22 Hornet or even the .223 Remington as a "High-Powered Rifle Cartridge" in the same vein as the .30-06 or .300 Win Mag. In point of fact, the only centerfire rifle cartridge I've never heard referred to as "High-Powered" is the .30 Carbine.
You're missing the point. The mainstream media labeled the 223 round that the Beltway Snipers were using as "high-powered"...as they have when they describe the bullets from an AK in countless other news stories.
