Default Shooting Jack Rabbits - Question

Hey all,

I'm a falconer and typically hunt jackrabbits and cottontails with my Red-Tail. I am looking to shoot some for food for her between when she catches them herself.

I was wondering if anybody has used .223 to shoot jacks? I know it is more than enough to do the job, but I am interested in how much it tears up jack when you shoot it? I'd also like to get into shooting yotes out of my hunting fields which is why I'm looking into the .223. Otherwise I'd just stick with the .22lr.

Thought you all might like a picture of the Red-Tail. Her name is Adelaide. This is the first jackrabbit she ever caught.
