    Max....it does. falcon sp36 #3 lead is THE load for rabbits.......trust me on this one having shot literally thousands of them with it over a couple of months period doing so professionally.

    to the O.P. a moderated .22lr is far more neighbourfriendly but watch your backstop EVERYTIME. the shotgun is great for sub 40 yard bunnies on the run heading for rubbish piles etc,but sitting under cover and snotting them with .22lr is much more cheap ......in saying that Ive taken to using .223 and highly frangable varmit loads in small reserve for same rabbits. the 75-125yard shot is well easy....vs possible with skill with .22lr.
    with shotgun you might get 2 outings with sucess....then they run like stink at sound of shot,so at most will get single bunny per outing.....the .22lr with moderator can allow multiple kills each outing as bunnies dont seem to click on before they are dead.
