    Nah, it’s a small round as rifles go. “High powered military rifle” is a complete misnomer.

      The likely issue there is less the size of the round and more the impact of the pressure wave on tissue. Body shots with a standard high-powered rifle round may not leave much useable meat on something the size of a rabbit.
