    If you can whack a rabbit out to 230ish metres you can whack a deer at 600.
    If you can't do the first don't do the second.

    shooting a rabbit at 230 metres is a hell of a lot different than shooting a deer at 600m, a rabbit will die from a shot thats not placed perfectly anyhow due to his small bodysize and the energy the projectile imparts at that range, you have quite a bit of room for error that will still result in a quick death, shooting a deer at 600m you dont have that room for error at all

    do the maths...it will/should tell all
    rabbit weights about 500grms half a kg....maybe up to a kg if been on really good tucker
    22lr projectiles weight 35-40 grains so what??? about 2 grams???
    so a 250th or a500th of weight of animal
    deer weighs 50-100kgs
    so would need to be hit with a 50-100grm projectile for it to be similar..thats grams not grains

    I dont think the original poster meant shooting a rabbit at 230m with a 22lr, just shooting a rabbit fullstop at 230m
