Good response MB.
I was thinking a .22 would be a bunny basher. There were US presidents that had been shot with .22lr's and they had not known because the impact was negligible.
Totally agree about the shotgun, but in the UK, we have very few 'larger critters'. Our main 'practice' guns would be .22lr's simply because of the cost of ammo. In a SHTF situation, I'd be opting for a shotty and at least a .223 (I love the AR15). Would be even better to bring out a .308 (yep, Remington 700...love love love that gun), but the practicalities would not be there.
