in all honesty a solid .44 lead shot will kill all small game outright if using a suitably powerfull set of bands. i and a number of my customers have had shots penetrate rabbits and fowl.

For hunting, I concur with Fish. a .44 or .45 lead ball is perfect. Good energy and penetration.

For self defense, use a bigger lead ball, like my preferred .75" (19mm). It simply delivers more energy, even though penetration won't be as good as using .44 lead. But the pain the .75" lead ball inflicts is just massive, will instantly stop an aggressor.
