minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-24 months agoNah, it’s a small round as rifles go. “High powered military rifle” is a complete misnomer.
minus-squarenickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 months agoThe likely issue there is less the size of the round and more the impact of the pressure wave on tissue. Body shots with a standard high-powered rifle round may not leave much useable meat on something the size of a rabbit.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoYeah, if you want meat. Farmers usually want to control rabbits from eating everything else.
minus-squareDudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months ago5.56 is a waste of money for rabbits though
minus-squareDudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoA small round traveling really fast can do a lot of damage, not a great round for small game - stick to .22 or birdshot.
