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.
