    I would have thought that since a rabbit is well... A light skinned rabbit then the cheap as chips fmj you can buy would be the best option. Cheap shooting.
    in one of my Nosler reloading manuals they address this very well...they were shooting something similar to rabbits ,one fella was using a target projectile for its extra accuracy the other a slightly less accurate but expanding projectile.....the less accurate projectile is more humaine as body hits produce instant results...the less expanding (as your fmj would be) will let alot of animals crawl away.
