RE: Too much for rabbits?
Robert,
For rabbit hunting I use 20 grains 3f goex and .490 PRB. Has a Muzzle velocity of around 930 fps and is very accurate in my T/C hawkento 30 yards. I shoot em in the head but from the damage, I would say that a body shot would notblow them to smithereens. Basically, this load is 1.5 times a 22 MAG so its really toned down. Good for small game with a .50 caliberrifle ML though.
