The light varmint bullets actually hold together

That's what I'd use 60 gr. or less. They seem to expand but not explode. Since they are designed for 4000 fps they do great at impact speeds around 2k. The 70 gr. may or may not expand, but with a good hit it really doesn't matter.

I shot my Muntjac with a 40 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip at 2150 fps from a .224-327 FA revolver. It did the job but it was like stabbing it with a pencil. The little bullets are designed for the .22-250 for Pete's sake.

The little 6mm pills run the standard factory range from .243 to .240 Weatherby. That is what the factory provides for. I don't think their engineers are figuring for nuts like us.
