Or for total devastation, try the 223 or 556 high velocity round. You could shoot two Rabbits at once with one shot. Bugs would buy it in a field in Derbyshire and Peter 3 miles up the lane in South Yorkshire!!

Well if we're going to that extent I recommend some PE4. Just blow the buggers to bits.

True, or go with the bow and steel shafts, cleaner and aids the bbq'ing process.

I'll accept that to about 4 metres.

Yup. Air resistance is very roughly proportional to the square of the speed, so the higher muzzle velocity of the .177 works against it.
