minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down2·edit-22 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-up7arrow-down1·2 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-up5arrow-down2·2 months agoYeah, if you want meat. Farmers usually want to control rabbits from eating everything else.

minus-squareDudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·2 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.
