Wondering what shotgun ammo is your favorite for rabbits. To keep things simple, let's limit it to 12ga.
please be specific! copper-plated, lead, high-velocity, 1.25oz, etc.....
Thanks

Whatever patterns the best out of your gun. It doesn't take much to kill a rabbit. I personally like large shot for small game hunting. Less pellets in the meat and they are easier to see. I won't shoot anything under #6 and prefer #4's for most stuff.

I've never shot a rabbit with a 12 gauge. Seriously.
But I suppose if I did I'd still use #6s. 1 1/4 I suppose. Lord I'd cut them in half with it though!
