Dispatching Breeder Rabbits

[Ben Framed]

I've never had a problem with the  22 HP because that's all I usually buy (because I have never had a problem and see no need to purchase the round nose for my usages.). I will not knock the round nose though... here is how we do it....
Warning: the following is not for the squeamish..

I'm pretty sure the bullets we have for the .22 LR are these.  https://www.remington.com/rimfire/22-thunderbolt/29-21241.html

Those should not cause fragmentation Reagan. Personally I would simply follow iddees advice given in reply #25.

I highly recommend an instant pot.  I have the 10 qt pot, but they come smaller.  There's no bad meat with one of these things.  + if you are like me and forget to take stuff out of the freezer...
And there are other brands.  My first electric pressure cooker was not instant pot.  I wanted to make sure I'd use it so I got a knock off.  Used it until I broke it and then got a good one   

They go on sale from time to time but aren't too expensive even at full price.  Makes a great pot of chili too!

Sounds good! How is it with roast?

Really good.  There are different machines with different options, but the basics are the same.  For some roasts, I brown them first, but usually, I just dump them in the pot with seasoning.  I add the veggies later and cook again for another 20 min or so.  I buy 1/2 a cow at a time so we have lots of roasts.  + we buy pork and chicken in bulk when it goes on sale. 

Makes great pulled pork and pulled chicken.

On squirrels, I usually use .22 short because they're quieter and because I still have a bunch of 'em left from a great deal 30 years ago.

I like 22 shorts for squirrels also for the same reason. But I have a 22 that only handles LR so the '22 LR Subsonic' makes  a decent substitute..

ditto again

15th, are you sure the sharp fragments weren't bone ? bloody stuff looks the same sometimes

Pretty sure. I mean, they were shiny and metal.
