RE: Best shotgun load for rabbits?
I use #8 or 7 1/2. Usually whatever is the cheapest at Wal-mart. I run them with dogs, so I ususally get a close shot. I have never needed the longer range or brush penetration that you will get with #4. The smaller size does less damage in my opinion too. Although they will still tear up some meat if you get the rabbit close enough.
