Default Too much for rabbits?

Greetings all. Its been a while since I have posted. But last weekend I got a nosefull of Goex smoke and now I want to do some more b/p shooting.

Iam looking for a flintlock rabbit gun. A .36 caliber would be ideal. But I am having trouble findinga carbine in that caliber.

Do you think a .50cal with a lighter charge would be too much? I was thinking a roundball getting pushed with about 50-60 grains of powder. The range would be anywhere between 20-70 yards.

Thanks,
~Robert
