I definitly would not recommend it for anything other than a head shot. Rabbits are very fragile, it would do a number on the body. Shoot one in the head and you'll understand when you see the damage.

Even a 40 gr mag win solid is a little rough on rabbits when body shot. Varmint bullets aren't meant to be used for hunting edible meat. They pretty much explode. Riddling the carcass with lead and copper, in a staight line from impact area. I just like the old lr for edible game myself.
