I'd still go the same. Head shots leave plenty of meat on the rabbits. An accurate shot will drop anything else. May lean more towards the 243 if I can drag myself higher. 300-400m range would be...

Most people I know who bought one then decide they want a short barrel, ... and load down to suit it. Then they get told that they might as well have just gone for the mighty 308 in the first place.

I'd just go the humble 223, or maybe 243, for NZ for what I want to hunt. If it's something too far away for the shot then I'd use my boots some more.
