Mr mac Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 whats a good cartridge to use for rabbit at long range? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 How far, shotgun or rifle?. Shotgun, 5 shot, tight choke should be ok at 45 yards. Rimfire, not really a long range tool but the 17HMR will get you out to about 150 yards. Centerfire; World is your oyster, one of the 204 or 22 calibers will take rabbits etc at longer distances than most can pilot it. Be warned though they get addictive as does hitting small targets first shot at long range. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 If I am out with the 12 bore and for a general walk about I use Clear Pigeon (Or similar)in 6 shot but if I am specifically after rabbits I like to use Black Gold in 5 shot - Not too much of a problem with rabbits out to 45 - 50 yards with them and excellent for crows!

Beretta28g Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well if you can get it a .243 is mustard out to 700 yards. .17 HMR for mortals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beretta28g Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well in that case, Id look between 32g and 36g in shot sizes 5-3. Plastic wad and fairly tight chokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
