    I have a 17 centrefire, I just use it for foxes though. It's €36 for a box of 20 so a bit expensive for rabbits

    I use a .204, brilliant fox gun but it would make bits of a rabbit, there wouldn't be any meat useable really after 204 shot.

    Both are way too powerful and as Sharkfox said, at 1.80 euro a pop, way too expensive.

    I shot plenty of rabbits with my .204 great calibre for the job.
    Sure if you have the rifle, why not!!!

    I have a .17 hornet that I use on foxes mainly. I use it on rabbits to but I have another rifle for that. .17 hornet is so flat shooting that if you have a good scope you should be able get head shots on rabbits up to 150 yards. Well that's my limit anyway. Price wise it works out at .80 cents a shot.
