    Here is my decision on the matter after field testing it myself: I was shocked at the knock down power and at good range, there were bunnies cartwheeling in all directions. I took some photo's on my phone but can't download them as the phone is shagged (I left the good camera at home unfortunately). I did take some proof home with me though so have uploaded some of the pic's. My conclusion is that the steal shot has more than enough knock down power as the rabbits didn't get up for seconds. I have always blamed steal shot for me missing ducks but after yesterday I have to put the misses on ducks down to poor shooting. I didn't have any trouble with the steal bouncing around either (could have been good luck?). I wanted to use up this ammo as I don't plan to go duck shooting this coming season.

    Finally got my photo's off my phone, one clearly shows the damage and that was on the run at a good distance.
