Tominator Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 #8's are OK for rabbits. I prefer 7 1/2's or 6's. If I'm going through heavy brush the heavier pellet penetrates a little better. It doesn't take much to kill a rabbit, the little trap rounds are fine IMHO.

bluelund79 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 if it ain't broke, son't fix it....sounds like you made a good choice sticking with your 8's. I use 2.75" in 6 shot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion_70 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'll have to throw in my vote for #6's also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 My favorites are the 7 1/2s. They dont destroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhunter39 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i use a 16 GA. with 6's then there are times when i use my fathers 410 when i'm thinking of him ( R.I.P. DAD ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy28 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I also use high brass 6's. 8's are good for 16yd trap, but big ol fox squirreld can be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your bros. and that cop buddy of yours need to come down this year Randy. Tons-O-rabbit down here. I usually don't hunt them until after deer season.

Dakota Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I tend to use a 20 gauge with Fiochi Golden Pheasant 3" 4 shot in either my single shot or my pump. Works extremely well. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
