This is something I've thought about for a while as well.

Turns out, they last for a while if stored properly. With them being so cheap, it's not really a problem. Think about how many shots you'd take to knock out a rabbit? Preferably just the 1. With practice in the mean time, you'll be looking at much fewer canisters than you first expected.

I've heard the .177cal is a much better stopper for rabbits. The higher calibers have a lower terminal velocity, and thus have a smaller penetrative ability. Granted the increase in weight has a heavier impact, but the lower trajectory, smoother flight, greater penetration, all suggests to me that a .177 would be better for rabbiting. Oh, and that's what everyone around here has said, even 2 range owners.

dont start that one whats best 177 or 22 that will go on for ever ,for me for hunting 22 for sub 12 ft lb stopping power more wieght but some will say 177 each to there own
