I thought that Remington designed the 223, or 5.56x45, as a military cartridge and that it was intended for shooting people, some of whom might very well have been varmints.

The cartridge was designed for enemy combatants, usually larger and far more dangerous than the 110 lb. deer mentioned in the OP. It has since been pressed into service as a varmint cartridge.
